Re: GWT launch client side application

Not sure how you would download a local excel file without uploading it first. Use electron or nw.js. The users that want local native integration could simply use the desktop app. With Electrons and ns.js you can resuse 100% of your GWT code. On 25 October 2016 at 14:06, Ed

Re: GWT launch client side application

They best approach is to download/click the excel and let the browsers mime take care of it if possible. On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 7:34 AM, Alain Ekambi wrote: > Why not simply wrap the gwt app with a native shell like nw.js or > electron? This will give u native access

Re: GWT launch client side application

Why not simply wrap the gwt app with a native shell like nw.js or electron? This will give u native access from your gwt app. Am 25.10.2016 12:26 PM schrieb "Frank" : > You can communicate in GWT with applets, and they can launch applications. > > But applets almost

Re: GWT launch client side application

You can communicate in GWT with applets, and they can launch applications. But applets almost don't work in any browser anymore. I am not sure how jnlp works, but if this can be called in javascript, you can also do it in GWT. GWT can do anything javascript can do. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thomas Broyer is very right. There is NO WAY running any local binary from a Web page. And thanks for that. It is not safe. > The reason this is a GWT issue is my company has gone with a completely GWT solution for a product. Again - GWT is a way to write JS programs. Your problem is not

Re: GWT launch client side application

In this case we're trying to launch excel. Although we might wind up needing to launch any local binary. Even being able to launch a batch file would be a help. The reason this is a GWT issue is my company has gone with a completely GWT solution for a product. Unfortunately to customize the

Re: GWT launch client side application

What kind of native app are you trying to launch? This looks more a browser/html/JavaScript problem that a GWT problem. El sáb., 22 de octubre de 2016 17:10, Kirill Prazdnikov escribió: > You can not. You only do what you can in JS. > GWT is a way to write JS applications. >

Re: GWT launch client side application

You can not. You only do what you can in JS. GWT is a way to write JS applications. On Friday, October 21, 2016 at 10:53:05 PM UTC+2, Aaron Paluzzi wrote: > > Hello all, > > I'm banging my head against what should be a basic issue. I need to have > a GWT web application launch a local

GWT launch client side application

Hello all, I'm banging my head against what should be a basic issue. I need to have a GWT web application launch a local application. What is the best way to do this? I've experimented with JNLP in the past with other platforms but I'm not sure if that is the best method here. Any
