Re: displaying static content in gwt
Sorry, I am not getting you.. Do You mean including it into the html file directly by editing the .html file? We are using GWT (with ext) only to design the pages. If I include it using GWT, I'll be using setHtml(String) method to add the html. I dont want to hard code the chunks of html code in string. thx On Oct 26, 2:59 pm, Thomas Broyer t.bro...@gmail.com wrote: On 26 oct, 10:50, usmanf linkusma...@yahoo.com wrote: I am thinking to place most of the design code [html] in the static files with .html and place their contents into the panel's setHtml() instead of writing GWT code for every thing. like for example I have a panel in the top that contains anchors like Home, Support, News etc. Instead of creating a Hyperlink object for each link and setting the style element to format it, I am thinking to read this chunk of code from a html file and use the panels's setHtml (String) to display it.

Re: Displaying static content on gwt client
Thanks for the reply.
So it means that it is going to be a GET request from the client to
the server for the resource once the client will load on the browser.
I am thinking to place most of the design code [html] in the static
files with .html and place their contents into the panel's setHtml()
instead of writing GWT code for every thing. like for example I have a
panel in the top that contains anchors like Home, Support, News etc.
Instead of creating a Hyperlink object for each link and setting the
style element to format it, I am thinking to read this chunk of code
from a html file [now use RequestBuilder] and use the panels's setHtml
(String) to display it. The benefit I can see with this approach is
avoid compiling the code even for a small change and also it could be
easy to change in the future.
Am I thinking in the right direction?

I am designing a home page for my website using GWT ext (GXT). It
contains a lot of static contents like news, advert text etc that
usually goes on the home page.
Firstly I tried separating the static content into html files and
reading them using java.io.FileReader to set them on the Panel's
setHtml(). I realized that GWT SDK does not allow to use java.io.* on
the client side. The only way I have now is to place the static
content into hard-coded string values like
Panel panel = new Panel();
panel.setHtml(pNews/pp news news nes newsnsnwensd nsdnewes/
p);
I have got a lot of static content to display on the home page which
is quite annoying to place in the String. Is there any other way/
solution around.
thanks
