Brainstorming desired - easier styling/css approaches

2013-02-28 Thread dhartford
Hey all, I'm curious if anyone already has some good, applied blogs or posts around the styling/css approaches with GWT applications. In particular, when going through some of these usecases and maybe from a UX designer point of view (I'm a developer, so do not know what tools (dreamweaver?) a

gwt 2.5/PrecompressLinker useless with tomcat/jboss?

2012-10-26 Thread dhartford
Hi all, I've been trying to utilize http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/PrecompressLinker, but for (I'm assuming) the common usecase of deploying to Tomcat, or to Jboss, this seems useless/no value. With tomcat, only configuration I could find was to modify server.xml with

UIBinder with css-defined images

2011-04-13 Thread dhartford
Hey all, I'm so far really loving the UIBinder approach -- I was hesitant at first (since already doing fine with programmatic GWT widget/panel/ form creation), but being able to mockup something quickly, then add behavior after the fact is really showing a good approach to development.

Wow, that made it crystal clear, thank you! So, using that I should be able to do all this within the uibinder xml, with the intent to make a background image: ui:image field=bgImage src=./images/app-bg.png / ui:style @sprite .background { gwt-image: 'bgImage';

Self-correction, the 'no-arg' is because you do not use @sprite as an annotation, but instead on the same line as the style definition BAD: @sprite .background CORRECT: @sprite .background On Apr 13, 1:20 pm, dhartford binarymon...@gmail.com wrote: Wow, that made it crystal clear, thank you

LightweightMetrics - network transport measurement?

2010-09-09 Thread dhartford
Hey all, I'm looking at what the LightweightMetrics can supply (opposed to hand- rolling your own), but it is not clear to me if it handles metrics on both the client and the server side to capture network latency issues (or, to be more general, network transport time) inbetween the client and the

Component/Widget swapping technique (accessible v convenience v beta)

Hey all, Checking to see if someone has already solved this challenge -- You have a widget/component, like a table of data you display. The data content will always be consistent. But, you may have users who want to identify that they want the: *WCAG accessible version of the table. or

Simple bandwidth/response time comparison tools

2010-02-22 Thread dhartford
Hi all, As I'm sure most of us here on the forum are doing, not everything is a new project. When you are doing conversion of an old project (struts, JSP, JSF, etc), the old way of measuring 'time' and 'size' are a little different with AJAX/GWT. For example, this tool:

and please, be reasonable, saying 'use speedtracer' doesn't help -- how do you use speedtracer to get a bandwidth/size number for a screen/ scenario and the response time (too much detail there for simple metric comparisons of an old site to a new site). On Feb 22, 8:56 am, dhartford binarymon

Re: Google Plugin for Eclipse with Maven

2009-04-24 Thread dhartford
I'm interested in this question as well, we heavily use the gwt-maven plugin (Charlie Collins et al to differentiate) for continuous integration and repeatable builds. If there is a consistent way to use the Google Plugin for Eclipse with gwt-maven that would be great. p.s. present solution is
