I think I should give little more explaining where I see, GWT may improve and become Visual Basic of web.
For the moment if we forget ajax. When I converted VB application into web, I draw parallels from VB forms to HTMLs and developed as such, so flow remains same and user transition smooth. Now , when I am migrating web application with html pages to GWT, why can't we draw parallels ? like index.jsp ->index.js page1.jsp->page1.js page2.jsp ->page2.js Why can't we use same URI navigation from window to window as in web (REST) ? Sure, GWT is capable of generating java script pages. With GWT Designer we should be able to develop java script pages, without going under the hood. Why java script is coping as single module, why not as pages ? Why did we go from page (URI) concept to module, one java script bundle ? Sure there are techniques like code splitting, but programming concept has changed. May be some reason is there, or I did not understand completely. It is worth discussing so that we can transition our years of app development smoothly. -Venu http://schoolk12.appspot.com/ On Jul 11, 10:01 pm, dreamer <[email protected]> wrote: > I had fairly large application developed in early web days , now I > want to convert into GWT. > Obvious we have added value of AJAX, what else do I loose? > > 1) large java script , initial down load time > => why is this , both and HTML and Javascript are different ways of > telling how the window is to browser. > meaning Are browsers more efficient in parsing and rendering > than javascript ? > => With we only load URI , why do we load entire java script ? > Just like only "index.jsp" to loaded javascript also should > index.javascript, why every thing? > With GWT.runAsync - seems like a good Idea.
