How to draw a network map in a GWT app

2009-03-03 Thread JoeB
Hi all, Does anybody have suggestions for drawing a network map in a GWT app? The requirement I'm trying to satisfy is to visually depict the relationships between physical and logical elements in the network. This means I need to show icons for the elements and connect them with lines and

Creating charts using GWT

2009-03-04 Thread JoeB
Hi, Can someone give me advice on the best way to create polished-looking charts using GWT? Notes: 1) My GWT app won't have web access so it can't call out to Google Visualizations. 2) The GChart package is nice for bar charts and line charts, but it doesn't support gauges (like on a dashboard)

Re: GWT and charts

2009-03-23 Thread JoeB
The Fusion Charts are very good-looking, but they require the Adobe Flash Player plugin. My customer may be using the app from within a secure network that doesn't have access out to the Internet, so this could be a problem. It seems that at least some browsers come pre- installed with the

Re: GIF Loading Image While GWT Application Loads

2009-04-11 Thread JoeB
But what if the delay is due to the time it takes for the JavaScript to be sent across the network and loaded into the browser (as opposed to the onModuleLoad function running to completion)? e.g. If the client becomes large with lots of JavaScript, then it will take more time to load. Will the

When does an ImageBundle get downloaded?

2009-04-15 Thread JoeB
Here's a technical question for you GWT gurus - when does the client actually download an ImageBundle from the server? Does this happen during the initial GWT bootstrap sequence, when the browser- and locale-specific JavaScript file is downloaded? Or does it happen when the client code

How does GWT-RPC use deferred binding?

2009-04-23 Thread JoeB
I understand the general concept of deferred binding, and how it generates different flavors of JavaScript code at compile-time that are selected at run-time based on the client's browser and locale. What's unclear to me is why and how the GWT-RPC mechanism uses it. I don't see why RPC needs the

Hi Vitali, Why couldn't the async proxy class be created statically instead of dynamically? I infer the reason is that there must be browser- specific variations in the client-side proxy class, right? -- Joe --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message

Re: How does GWT-RPC use deferred binding?

2009-04-23 Thread JoeB
So what does happen during the call to GWT.create() for an RPC? Is a JavaScript class for the async proxy being generated in the client on-the-fly? Is a round-trip made to the server to fetch some pre- compiled code appropriate to the browser-type? -- Joe

Why is the call to GWT.create(MyService.class) expensive at run-time? The code generation all occurred at compile-time, so what's actually happening at run-time? -- Joe --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Communicate w/ existing GWT-RPC service

2009-04-28 Thread JoeB
How would I write a Java application client that communicates with an existing GWT-RPC service? I'm currently designing and building a standard GWT webapp where the client and server communicate via GWT- RPC, but I'd like to make the server's data accessible to another remote application

Stack trace stripped out of remote exception

2009-09-16 Thread JoeB
Hi all, In my GWT application's service implementation, I throw a custom exception which is handled in the client's onFailure(Throwable caught) method. The caught parameter is the custom exception that was thrown, except that it doesn't contain any stack trace. I would like to have the stack
