I need to create two versions of the same GWT application. One will be for
Desktop / Tablets and the other for CellPhones. The functionality will be
identical, only the presentation will differ. I have done a fair amount of
google searching and come up with a structure something like this:
com.mycompany.project.client
Common Code
com.mycompany.project.client.Desktop
Desktop / Tablet specific code
Desktop.java (entry point)
com.mycompany.project.client.Mobile
CellPhone specific code
Mobile.java (entry point)
I have two gwt.xml files, Desktop.gwt.xml and Mobile.gwt.xml.
I have two html files. Desktop.html and Mobile.html
Finally I have two css files, Desktop.css and Mobile.css
The HTML files have been updated to use the right css.
The intent is that a cell-phone user will go to /Mobile.html and desktop /
tablet to Desktop.html
Now I have several questions:
1. Is there anything wrong with this approach? By that I mean, I get well
into development and then I discover some horrible limitation or some big
problem that will cause a lot of trouble. I just kind of hacked this idea
together from reading various stuff on some web sites. It seems to work,
but I want to make sure there isn't something I am overlooking.
2. Some web sites suggested having only one gwt.xml file and putting both
entry points in the one file. I am not sure I understand this. Is this a
good idea? Can I still have my separate web sites via the HTML files?
3. Whenever I edit Mobile.java (or any class under the client.mobile
package) and change any CSS stuff, it ends up changing stuff in the
Desktop.css. Is there a way to get the editor to recognize that these
files are using a different css? Or should I just be using one css for
both sites?
4. If this approach is a bad idea, how should I organize it? There is
going to be a lot of shared code since the web sites will be identical
except for presentation.
