Develop Screen as Google Web Toolkit

[Chatree Srichart]

Hi community, I created the OFBiz-GWT
<http://code.google.com/p/ofbiz-gwt/>project to render the screen,
form and menu widgets as GWT widget.
You can try with
GettingStarted<http://code.google.com/p/ofbiz-gwt/wiki/GettingStarted>
page and
see how it work.

The benefits of this project are:

   - Partial screen updated
   - Developers do not need to know any
JavaScript?<http://code.google.com/p/ofbiz-gwt/w/edit/JavaScript>
    language
   - Client side validation
   - Create custom widget with Java language
   - Easy to debug a screen with GWT development mode

I hope you enjoy this project.

Regards,
Chatree Srichart

I Chatree,
it seems that application.patch and specialpurpose.patch are empty.
Is this correct?

...also running ant while in the hot-deploy/gwt directory does not work
becouse ant batch is located into /ofbiz.

The application.patch and specialpurpose.patch are empty is correct because
I didn't change anything in applications and specialpurpose directories. I
only changed the framework directory.

in the hot-deploy/gwt directory you need to put ../../ant and in
the hot-deploy/gwt/webapp/gwt directory you need to put ../../../../ant to
run ant batch.

Hi Chatree,
the hot-deploy is automatically compiled when I run ant in the \ofbiz
folder.
Unfortunately the hot-deploy/gwt/webapp/gwt is not automatically compiled
(maybe some gwt build.xml hack could do the job).
The command you suggest returns this error (I use Windows)

C:\ofbiz\ofbiz_gwt\hot-deploy\gwt\webapp\gwt>"C:\Programmi\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\bin\java"
-jar framework/base/lib/ant-launcher-1.7.1.jar -lib framework/base/lib/ant
Unable to access jarfile framework/base/lib/ant-launcher-1.7.1.jar


Thank you,
Bruno

I suggest you install separate Apache Ant and set it to global PATH then you
can use "ant" command in every directory. I think this solution would solve
the problem. Download <http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi>

Chatree,
I suggest to configure the build.xml file in the gtw component to do all the
work when invoked by the root ofbiz build system.
This is the standard way to build components in the hot-deploy.

Thank you,
Bruno

I'm really happy to see this project.  How would you compare your approach
for GWT with the way Opentaps does it?

Does GWT integration require a lot of tightly coupled Java objects?  We have
a project where we introduced some GWT elements, and the way we did it
required us to create a lot of DTOs, which is really a giant step away from
the nice abstract Map idea that OFBiz uses to represent entities, parameter
lists, and pretty much all other data.

I would love to see an example of this OFBiz-GWT project that gets data from
the OFBiz delegator, dispatcher, or both.  The Screen/Form/Menu rendering is
interesting, and it's good that it extends the OFBiz template macros for a
consistent approach, but it is hard for me to see how you get OFBiz data
into this presentation.  It's especially hard for me to see how the data
integration will work considering the inversion of the request-response
cycle that happens when you use AJAX.

I'm going to experiment with your project and try to answer these questions
for myself, but if someone else has worked through it, it would be great to
hear a clear explanation and see some examples.

Bruno,
To compile the gwt webapp is compiling Java code to JavaScript and that will
spend for a long time. I don't want this to disturb if you only want to
compile normal Java code.

Well,
ant should be smart enough to compile only what is needed.
I suggest this in order to have easier life for people that wants (like me)
try your work.

[Chatree Srichart]

My approach is I want to implement normal screen, from and menu widgets and
render them to GWT widget without JavaScript coding. This means I can reuse
any exist screen/from/menu widgets and render them to GWT widget. I want to
implement a custom UI widget with Java language and render to GWT widget. I
don't like to write JavaScript much because it difficult to debug, change
and maintenance. I choose GWT because I don't need to write JavaScript. I
just write Java code and compile to JavaScript which be good optimized. So
that would make a UI very fast. GWT also has development mode to debug UI by
using development console.

For this project we can use the exist concept of OFBiz. We can use service,
event, groovy and screen/form/widget's action to retrieve data to show on a
screen.

The GWT would get data from OFBiz by calling request-map and
GwtScreenViewHandler will render a screen to JSON format, using the exist
request-response cycle. The JSON will tell the GWT how the data and screen
should be render and GWT will convert the JSON data to GWT widget. For
updating the partial screen, we would specify a target screen that would be
updated by setting the target-window attribute of form/menu/link xml tag.

You may add an ant target, like run-install-gwt, which will compile the
gwt code, and also make the standard run-install task.
the gwt task will just be dependent from the run-install one.

I added the changing language feature to the
OFBiz-GWT<http://code.google.com/p/ofbiz-gwt/>project. It would get
different languages from exist UI label files. To try
this please apply ofbiz-patches and re-compile again.

As I know, we have a jquery branch already and now GWT is another direction,
which looks amazing. I think committee  should really and seriously consider
the overall UI approach. A concrete plan is even better.

Yes, I was thinking at that too this weekend. There is a subtle difference though.

The jQuery branch has been discussed before on the dev ML and based on lazy consensy we decided to create this branch to replace
completly Dojo/Prototype by jQuery (mostly motivated by plugins possibilities)

OFBiz-GWT is Chatree's initiative. I have not looked at it yet. If I did well understood the idea is to replace (or side by side?)
form-widget by GWT-widget. I wonder though how it will handle all Ajax and plugins we use already in jQuery. This does not mean that
I'm against the idea. I'd love to forget about javascript ;o) but I really wonder if it's possible without loosing flexibility. Also
GWT means compilation, and it's one major strengths of OFBiz to not rely much on it (without speaking about reloading)

That all UI are controlled by the entity, so that a change in the Entity
will be shown in the UI with no further support.
the basic layer is defined as a presentation layer supported by Event
and View handlers as defined in
framework\common\webcommon\WEB-INF\common-controller.xml
of those, the Screens is the format for defining data layout.
the sub level is those widgets that are used in the Screens.


my 2 cents.

I have added the history function to OFBiz-GWT project. The GWT would handle
screen when you click on the "Back" or "Forward" buttons of a web browser.

[Michael Xu (xudong)]

Cool!

May I suggest that you put gwt codes as a branch and have some documents in
ofbiz wiki?

BTW, there is also http://code.google.com/p/ofbizify/

Maybe http://code.google.com/p/ofbiz-gwt/ and http://code.google.com/p/ofbizify/ could work together?
