So while I was working on one of my outreach projects as a graduate student, I wanted to write a simple XML indenter to make my GWT generated xml more aesthetically appealing using stock GWT. The xml document is assumed to be as lean as possible (There are no empty #text nodes that are usually in xml because of the indentation.)

The Dojo Toolkit now has support for multi-file uploads, thanks to the new Deft project. Thedojox.form.FileUploader class embeds a hidden SWF file in the page which, when triggered, will open a system dialog that supports multiple file selection, and also file masks, which allows the user to filter their selection by file type.

It could be nice to have a multifile Uploader for GWT.

I love keyboard shortcuts. I hate the mouse. I wish that Web applications would offer more keyboard shortcuts a la Gmail, and wondered if there could be a generic way to tie keys to actions in an app. There are things such as accessKey, but we need more.

I share the opinion of Dion. I think we need a good key bindings library for GWT.

Custom events as API end points for key bindings and more

I am working on an international CRM project based on JDK 6, GWT 1.5, MyGWT/Ext GWT, tomcat 6, maven, hibernate, spring, Oracle, ... This business application must worked with Firefox 2, IE 6/7 and 9 locales (the target is about 15 locales). This a very large GWT application and it takes a long time to compile, about 12 mn "only" for GWT maven module : this is a long time in development mode.

International CRM based on GWT : cool !

The in place editor is one of the simplest yet powerful feature brought by Ajax. I wrote two such editors last year, using javascript and Prototype as an exercise. Recently I started to study GWT more in depth and I found fun to write a GWT version of the in place editor.

 I have been struggling with getting recaptcha to work with GWT, and finally succeeded. I thought I would share how I did this. The method I solved this problem involves some JNSI, but also modifying some of that static content in your .html file. It is inelegant, but I could not get a pure JNSI implementation to work.

In a variety of views I would like to give the user the option of
"popping out" the current data detail view, much the same way that
GMail allows you to pop out the e-mail composition window.  I would
like to retain the full and normal use of the classes and
functionality in the popout window.  Basically, I want to load a
class, ExternalViewer, in the popout window.  I am not looking for a
panel within the root window, but a true separate browser window.

Dan Morill gives a very good solution for this design problem.

A few days ago ( from the writing of this entry ), I tried to search the web on how to add a box in GWT. You know, that box that nicely envelops your user interface elements. Sadly, the only relevant hit that I got was an entry in the GWT mailing list of a guy asking the same thing, and him being told to “learn CSS”. So, I set off to learn it on my own, and here’s what I found so far

It's Wednesday, and you have had it up to here with the weather.  There's nothing on TV and you've gone out for so many walks, you can't even get your dog to look you in the eye without him hiding under the kitchen table.  You have time on your hand, so you decide you want to see how easy it is to set the status bar text when hovering over a link in GWT (why?  don't ask why, let's just pretend for a second).  You settle on three possible approaches...

Due to the way IE6 works internally, IE6 takes up lots of memory linear to the area of the image bundle (horizXvertical). In GWT 1.4.60, GWT doesn't make any effort to reduce image sizes. This problem is especially prevalent if you have at least 1 tall image in the bundle.
