I spent most of Friday reading up on Editor Framework and it seemed quite powerful and useful. But today I'm looking at actually making use of it and I've had some fairly basic questions which I have not been able to find answers to in this group or anywhere on Google/gwtproject.org.
1) Does the use of Editor Framework require the use of UiBinder? i.e. can I use it with a regular Java view? 2) Does the use of Editor Framework require the use of RequestFactory? This answer appears to be no, but I haven't been able to find any examples that don't use RequestFactory. Do such examples exist? 3) What options exist in GWT for doing databinding? It looks like UiBinder itself takes care of doing data binding. So I guess that Editor Framework is not so much about data binding, instead it adds validation, Editor composition, and? I still can't really figure out if the Editor Framework is right for my project or not. I use DTOs via GWT-RPC without any RequestFactory. My current views are Java (no UiBinder) but I might switch to UiBinder. I've got the architecture for MVP laid out pretty well and I'm having a hard time figuring out how Editors fit into the mix. The DTOs whose data is exposed in my views does not map directly to what is displayed in the view one-to-one. Many views display data taken from multiple DTOs. Also actions/selections in one view must result in changes to other views on the page. This means that selecting an item in one view could cause (via Events) multiple presenters to disable/enable elements in their views. Are there are good IO videos that cover Editor Framework in detail? So far my searches have not come up with any, but the names don't always specify the content. I've read the details on gwtproject.org, code.google.com, and various blogs plus the DynaTableRf example. But while trying to implement this stuff today, it just feels wrong, like it isn't going to fit/work/etc with what I'm doing. So I'm trying to figure out if I should just not use Editor Framework at all.
