Re: Database data and GWT applications

Hi Owen,

Did you also install the Google App Engine part of Google SDK on your
Eclipse? Then running and debugging a database-oriented application
gets easy and efficient: the SDK has a Jetty (i.e Tomcat-like) in it.
So, you can fully test locally and test deploy as easily on App Engine
infrastructure.

So, give a try to the full package and come back if any question:

I really find the combination GAE + GWT highly powerful for large
scale and at the same time very efficient to develop + debug on a
single machine

regards
didier
