I use UiBinder and like it a lot because it allows me to do my markup using
UiBinder's HTML like XML tags which, if you like to code in HTML, is a real
benefit over coding your interface using Java. I don't but I could pass off
any one of my UiBinder xml files to a designer and they wouldn't feel like
they are looking at something "foreign" as it very HTML like.
In GWT 2.1 there are a few issues that developers must bear in mind when
using UiBinder. The most "in your face" issue is that you cannot dynamically
add widgets directly to an HTMLPanel but instead must have the HTMLPanel
include a native HTML container to which you append widgets to as
demonstrated in the following UiBinder markup:
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder"
xmlns:g="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui"
xmlns:dp="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.datepicker.client">
.
.
.
<g:HTMLPanel styleName="{style.view}">
.
.
.
<g:HTMLPanel ui:field="salesTaxContainer">
<div id="addEditIPurchaseTaxContainer"/>
</g:HTMLPanel>
.
.
.
</g:HTMLPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
And in the following code snippet where a widget is added to the HTMLPanel :
salesTaxContainer.add(new
AddEditPurchaseTaxView(purchase),"addEditIPurchaseTaxContainer");
This is a common coding pattern you will have to get used to when using
UiBinder and it is my understanding that this is being addressed in some
future release.
