Ok, So I initialized the request factory with a SimpleEventBus and I got further. I then got the NoClassDefFoundError on javax.validation.Validation. Woohoo! I never cheered so much for a different error. I remembered this had to do with JSR-303 and after some searching I found that this and the JSON stuff are included in gwt-servlet-deps.jar (included with the SDK).
NOTE: This should be spelled out in GINORMOUS letters somewhere on this page: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideRequestFactory.html Alas, it's not. :( Once I included the Dept, I realized that I didn't have the path set right for the RequestFactoryServlet...GWT actually threw a nice error here and I was able to set it properly. Fortunately, I read Thomas Broyer's post<http://tbroyer.posterous.com/gwt-211-requestfactory> and was able to catch a few of these things. These simple steps should be spelled out somewhere. I was tempted to go down the Maven (gwt-maven-plugin, etc.) route, but the integration between that and the Eclipse plugin is not stable enough for someone who is trying to get something up and running quickly. I ran into a variety of problems: not being able to find the 2.3.0-SNAPSHOT for the plugin, the archetype with 2.2.0 didn't generate a project that compiled -- it had __module__ listed in a bunch of the class names -- no doubt a substitution wasn't being handled properly. All in all, a painful experience. And I like Maven. For someone that doesn't like it, it probably wouldn't be as much of a major time sync -- foolish me I thought I could whip it -- others would have just given up. Not a fun time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
