Re: Can you tell me Step-By-Step Guidelines of How to use HtmlUnit to make GWT app Crawlable?

HtmlUnit is bundles as jar file so you can put it (and all its dependencies) into WEB-INF/lib of your war.

Then you need to write a servlet that takes the server request of the Google bot, rewrites the _escaped_fragment_ parameter back to the original #!<token> url and starts HtmlUnit with that url. The resulting/rendered page will then be returned by the servlet.

At the bottom is an example:

https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/html-snapshot

The rendered page that you serve the Google Bot does not have to be a 1:1 copy of your original page. It is enough if the same content is available, styling is irrelevant. For example compare:
