Re: Aw: what kind of MVP to use, what is "current" best practice

Is it possible (or probably preferable) to "aid" the implementation of MVP by a MVP-Framework (like those mentioned above)? or would this raise some conflicts with gwt's places and ativities?

GWTP and Mvp4g both do much more than just "MVP" (because you really don't need any kind of framework for MVP: just create two interfaces, two implementations of those interfaces and you're done; the hard part is the lifecycle of your "components", and how you "plug" them together, and this is where activities, GWTP and Mvp4g chime in), so they indeed "conflict" with the activities framework (that's the deal with frameworks vs. toolkits/libraries).

In the end, you'll have to choose one of them three. My choice is activities, but YMMV, and both GWTP and Mvp4g are very good frameworks (made by really nice and skillful guys). It's just that I don't like frameworks, and "activities" is so lightweight that it's hardly more than a toolkit: if there's a part of it you don't like, you can very easily replace it with your own, because you still have to do the bootstrap yourself (contrary to most said "frameworks"; see, with GWTP your EntryPoint is almost empty, and with Mvp4g you don't even have your own EntryPoint!)
