Hello again, Okay, I found in the Release notes for Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit v 1.1 that GWT Developer plugin is not compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This was in Chapter 8 "Known Issues with this release" with a JIRA reference of JBPAPP-5099. Looking at the JIRA comments, the fix was to add the issue to the list of issues in the release notes where they also say it is tested and certified to work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. I don't have an option to go to 5 at this point. I certainly hope that doesn't mean I shouldn't use GWT 2.0!!
Given that, how do I see what is going on when things don't render in GWT? I am new to this framework so am probably making simple mistakes in setting things up. When that results in something just not rendering, I'm not sure where to look for what is wrong. For example, I eventually want a horizontal split panel with the right panel being a vertical split panel and I want one of those panels to contain a table of data. I had modified the code generated by the webAppCreator script to have the three panels using SplitLayoutPanel. I put the name / password boxes in one of the three panels and the dialog box in another part just to ensure things are displayed. All was well. Using code from the GWT Showcase as an example, I tried to add a CellTable to one of those panels. It just didn't render. At that point, I'm not sure how to determine the source of the problem. The Firefox logs and output don't show any errors or issues. I used Window.alert to pop up messages as the table was built to make sure it was populated so I know I had a table with data in it. Using Firebug, I can see the html where the table is supposed to be (it highlights as just a line across the panel) but it doesn't mean anything to me. So now what? Obviously I am missing a step in setting things up. Is there a way to have the GWT processing provide some output in verbose mode or something so I can get an idea of what I am missing. Perhaps if I can see what is happening when it is adding the widget to the panel and possibly see why there is nothing being added to the html for the rows? Any ideas would be appreciated.
