Re: GWT Page flows - want to start a open source project - thoughts

[Brian Reilly]

As promised, I committed my gwt-multipage changes (to a branch) and attached
a test jar (gwtmultipage-core-20110731.jar) to the issue:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-multipage/issues/detail?id=21. It's not an
official release yet, but that's the jar that I've been using it in
production with GWT 2.3 for a couple of months now.

Re: GWT Page flows - want to start a open source project - thoughts

[Brian Reilly]

Note that the current build is for GWT <= 2.1. If you're using 2.2+,
currently you'll need to get the source and build it against 2.2+ yourself.

I did some work a couple of months ago to create a jar that would work for
any version of GWT, but haven't committed it yet. In fact, that's the only
reason I hadn't already mentioned gwt-multipage in this thread. Now that it
has been mentioned, I'll make sure I commit my changes this weekend, at
least on a branch.

BTW, the project page is http://gwtmultipage.org/, and the google code page
is http://code.google.com/p/gwt-multipage/.

Re: GWT Page flows - want to start a open source project - thoughts

[dreamer]

I forgot to mention about JNLP based swing applications, I see lot
similarities with GWT.
Once difference is jar files will be downloaded instead of JavaScript
module. Ultimate jnlp app
runs in local jvm and makes some socket calls to server.

for sure, JNLP addressed issue of client deployment. Though JavaScript
runs on browser and makes ajax calls,
I am not seeing web concentric approach. All these efforts are leading
to P2P approach.

If I have to compare web with network models , I would say it works
like a "start network model" that way we can avoid
any initial downloads, cache issues, script engine version issues (we
got lot many jvm version issues with JNLP).
Just like web page build with pure HTML pages, user experience should
be same, no version issues, dll conflicts nothing.

I would even go one step forward and ask why "java to javascript"
compilation , why not
"java to 'html+javascript'" compilation ?  ( javascript for ajax).

DOM api should be able to generate HTML directly, where there is no
dynamic refresh, we don't need JavaScript.

Re: GWT Page flows - want to start a open source project - thoughts

[dreamer]

Very good point. I have gone through same thought process.
After using designer to build composites (html pages), I came to
conclusion that this is what I want to build my web sites with.

Just drag and drop widgets and build pages, Yes we got new world for
page design and development, but web is
highly distributed network, it can never become thick client
application which just makes jdbc calls to server, or some thing like
that.

I was fascinated by JSF and its Idea, but it my fascination faded down
slowly after struggling few weeks.
But not with GWT and App engine.

I found what I am looking for, thing is how to make these better, so
that we can build more complex enterprise apps without much re-
engineering.

Re: GWT Page flows - want to start a open source project - thoughts

[Alain Ekambi]

Then what just you dont use JSP or  JSF  then ?
GWT follows a  different paradigm then those technologies.
I just cant see the benefit of similutationg JSP with GWT

Re: GWT Page flows - want to start a open source project - thoughts

[dreamer]

What if we need to port very complex web app with 100's of jsp/html
pages into GWT ?

Yes. swing and gwt got lot of similarities. But loosing web advantages
being on web may be not cool.
yep Swing is Forms flow with thick client nature. There is a huge
paradigm shift between these two worlds.
as per my understanding GWT is trying to simulate thick client (yep
swing) where all the forms/pages
are at client and makes rpc to create Models thus MVP to refresh GUI.

My thought is to preserve the thin client nature, when you are getting
completely new page,
just make URL / URI call to load javascript component. Server serves
Model and View, on client presenter
can update view, before rendering GUI. this way application stays very
light weight , just like HTML pages,
I beleive complex application with hundereds of jsp/html pages can be
easily ported into GWT. sure AJAX reduces # of pages.
but not down to one or two pages.

Partial refreshes will will be done as usual.

Is swing applications pageflow? I think not. Perhaps you can look at
architecture proposed in ProGWT
book
.
In this architecture you don't need use a whole page.

GWT Page flows - want to start a open source project - thoughts

[dreamer]

Hi,

I want to start a new opensource project - "GWT page flows" - similar
to struts.

With my moderate GWT knowledge, I did not find any way to weave
application with pages, though components are there.

Not all ajax applications are single page apps.

Here are my thoughts from very high level  -
===
Use composites (widgets) as pages - build using designer.
Weave all these pages with the help of something like "struts-
config.xml".
==
It would have been great if GWT compilation is component by component
more transparently. Some thing under the hood is happening on these
lines. Even loading javascript into browser would have happened page
by page, only when it is needed.


Few questions:

Is it possible to build page flow on the above lines using GWT as is?
Are these features available in any other form, that I did not
realize? (UiBinder seems slightly different than I want)

Just I would like to brainstorm. Please share your thoughts.
