The new CellTable and PagingListView/ListView programming model is really nice, great work guys!! but the glaring omission I can see in the M1 drop is a table that has a scrolling data area and a fixed header/footer, as opposed to a paging table.
Now I understand that it's only the first milestone drop and there may be more to come, but the fact that GWT does still not deliver what is an absolutely fundamental component required for GWT development in desktop style business oriented apps has made me start to wonder. Does the GWT team believe such a component conflicts with the GWT mission statement: "GWT's mission is to radically improve the web experience for users by enabling developers to use existing Java tools to build no-compromise AJAX for any modern browser." or more explicitly the clarification of what is meant by "the web experience": "The experience we want to optimize is the web experience. The web has different DNA than desktop applications, and GWT was designed to be of the web tradition rather than providing a way of slavishly cloning desktop idioms in a browser. Sure, there is some overlap. But when there's tension, we prioritize the simple, core web concepts like hyperlinks, history, URLs, and bookmarks" Would love to hear the teams thoughts on this,.. oh, and once again, love your work guys. GWT is a wonderful thing (even without a scrolling table :) ) Cheers Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
