Hi Ashwani, You have two parts in a GWT application : 1) Client part :
- User interface ( panels, menus, grids, tree etc....) - javascript generated by the GWT compiler from your java client code 2) Server part : - Servlets which receive requests across RPC calls from the client - any logic business part for your application ( classes, packages, external java framework etc...) So, you should have two package e.g com.myapp.client and com.myapp.server. In Eclipse, add mysql connector reference ( for me it's connector-java-5.1.14-bin.jar ) in your project settings, as you do for other java library. In your server part code, connect to your database as you do in other standard J2EE application. By proceeding like that, you ensure having a standard behaviour for your application. You can test your applcation with your database in DEV and TEST mode. When you deploy, the client part will be compiled in javascript to manage the UI ( DHTML scripting based ). The generated javascript will make the AJAX calls to your server part and feed your UI components as you decided in your client code. Don't forget to put MySql connector jar, in the correct tomcat installation subfolder.( for me it's /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.14-bin.jar ). I'm surprised that you can't debug your code !!! It should work, you should be abble to debug your application. I think something is missing to your project settings. I hope it helps. Regards.
