Re: Composite question

2009-05-22 Thread sssmack


How about this:  Create a new class that contains Composite and
extends nothing.  Implement the methods using those from Composite
needed to make the new class work with GWT...and implement your own.

In other words:

class MyRestrictedWidget {

   private Composite composite = new Composite() {
private FlowPanel flowPanel = new FlowPanel();
initWidget( flowPanel );
   };

   public MyRestrictedWidget() {}

   public doMyControlFreakThing() {
   }

   public void removeFromParent() {   // example of a method possibly
required by GWT framework.

   composite.removeFromParent();
  }
}

 But seriously, I have everything I need for css layout built in to my

 all-but-impossible in css). I was just wondering if it could be
 further locked down - to spare the developers as much as constrict
 them: add widgets to views, connect them up to events and data, and
 don't waste your time with styles  layout. And I don't want to spend
 hours pulling my hair out because css won't re-set a style, only to
 discover that some renegade terrorist has buried a setWidth() or DOM
 manipulation landmine somewhere in code where it doesn't belong
 IMHO...

 But it seems like what I want isn't easily possible. Thanks for your help.

  You'd have to go back to real basics to get around that.
  Or tell your client to get developers they can trust to do as they are told

  Is your client absolutely sure that their untrustworthy, pig-headed,
  anarchic, f***-you-mentality programmers will *never* need to set a width
  to, say, 100%? Setting absolutely everything in css will really complicate
  the css under some circumstances. There are some settings which really
  should be set in code (like setting the cell width to 100% in a
  HorizontalPanel) because they are necessary in building other widgets and
  all-but-impossible in css and/or will break if Google change that widget's

Re: database backend best practice

2009-05-04 Thread sssmack

Is the application Trackvia? ;-)

 I'm about to start a new application using GWT 1.6. I have a lot of
 programming experience, but very little with java. In my application I
 want to load a dozen or so different record types from a mysql
 database, send them to the client where the user can display/modify
 them in various ways, then send the data back to the database.

 I've looked over the basic DynaTable example and some jdbc examples
 and I've also read some about Hibernate. I'm trying to determine if
 Hibernate is worth the extra setup and configuration, vs a direct jdbc
 approach. Or is there a better solution I'm missing?

 If you were starting a new database GWT app with 1.6 what would be the
 best approach? Where best means both easiest to configure and
 easiest to deal with the code.

 Thanks for any suggestions, especially pointers to 1.6 tutorials.

Re: A native GWT chart library?

2009-04-22 Thread sssmack

Pierre,

Maybe use Walter's vector library here:
http://www.walterzorn.com/jsgraphics/jsgraphics_e.htm#download

Granted it is lower level - you'd probably have to build on it to make
graph classes - there may be some already made for it.

 This does mean it isn't going to be interactive, as Flash is.

Re: json date

2009-02-26 Thread sssmack

The answer depends on whether you want the server to format the date
or the client to.
Send it as a JSONstring for the 1st case and as a JSONNumber for the
latter.
Send it as JSONNumber if you want the client (GWT) to be able to
render the date as its local time.

 If the web-application is accessed internationally I think the
 format used with iCalendar (AFAIR) or XML is better:
 -MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ
 Otherwise there might be confusions what 03:00:00 means, the
 timezone of the server or the timezone of the client. Or you
 define that all times have to be in UTC and you convert them
 accordingly on server- and client-side.

How to get the width of a cell in a HTML table/Grid

The width of a widget contained it a cell can be gotten, but how is
the width of a cell or column gotten?
Let's say all cells of a Grid contain text.  How is the width of a
column or cell gotten?

 Thomas is correct here. onAttach() performs some very important

 call super.onAttach()) then you would end up with broken widgets if  
 you override that method. It is useful to override onAttach() if you  
 need to perform some task just to rendering then call super.onAttach()  
 at the end of your overridden method.

 However, onLoad() is the correct method to place your own code in if  
 you need to perform tasks AFTER the widget is attached to DOM.

Re: setting Label widgets in each cell of 1000row x 17col grid is too slow..

2008-12-01 Thread sssmack

I'm going to try the BulkTableRenderer today.
I want to be able to catch button right click events on the row and
don't see text being able to catch those and therefore made labels for
each cell.  I did exchange Label for setText to verify speed change
but building the grid was still slow .

Thanks for all the suggestions,  any more? =)

 I would first try a BulkTableRenderer; if you can't (I can't see any
 reason why, but...) then use an IncrementalCommand.

 Can't you also use setText instead of setLabel? If you can avoid
 instanciate 17000 Label objects, it'll probably run faster too ;-)
