At a minimum (among other requirements) your controller must implement an HTTPD (HTTP daemon) to use GWT. > My model, from reading some information about GWT is that I would have > all the code that supports the application reside on the controller. > The web page would interact with that code. That's mostly correct. The web page would execute Javascript downloaded to the notebook. The application would need to interact with the controller. More detail is needed about the controller. > Is this realistic? Maybe. > The user would need to use a file picker to access files on the > controller, is that possible? Difficult? Maybe. It depends on the software running on the controller. > I have almost no contact with other programmers and none with > experience with the web so this forum appears to be my best source. Please consider hiring someone to help evaluate requirements. It's way too early to be thinking about GWT.
