Hi Everyone, After hours of tests and trials, finally I have successfully migrated my RPC-based GWT application from the hosted mode to an external Tomcat server. The IDE used is Eclipse. Here is what worked for me.
1. Make sure the application runs correctly on the hosted mode. 1. Compile the application, using GWT compiler. 2. Create a jar file of the source code as mentioned here: http://blog.elitecoderz.net/gwt-and-tomcat-create-war-using-eclipse-to-deploy-war-on-tomcat/2009/12/ 3. Create the file build.xml inside the Project folder. Following is the code I use in my project (called ScatterGatherSearch). <project name="ScatterGatherSearch" basedir="." default="default"> <target name="default" depends="buildwar,deploy"></target> <target name="buildwar"> <war basedir="war" destfile=" ScatterGatherSearch.war" webxml="war/WEB-INF/web.xml"> <exclude name="WEB-INF/**" /> <webinf dir="war/WEB-INF/"> <include name="**/*.jar" /> </webinf> </war> </target> <target name="deploy"> <copy file=" ScatterGatherSearch.war" todir="."/> <echo>http://localhost:8080/ScatterGatherSearch/ ScatterGatherSearch.html</echo> </target> </project> 4. Install Apache Ant on your machine. 5. Right click on the build.xml and click on: Run As >Ant Build. This would create a war file with .war extension under the project folder. 6. Copy the war file into the webapps folder of the tomcat installation.(Assuming Tomcat has been successfully installed on your local machine) 7. After the tomcat service starts, the war file would automatically be expanded to a folder with the same name. 8. Open the browser http://localhost:8080/ScatterGatherSearch/ScatterGatherSearch.html - and your application should work just fine.
