Re: GWT + Tomcat + MySQL: How to set up a development environment

Hi,

"I am about to create a web application using GWT + MySQL. My
understanding is that I need to set up an external server (Tomcat) in
order to use a MySQL back-end"

No really, GWT is to build frontend. So you can do your backend in other language, for example PHP and communicate with GWT via JSON. If you want use only GWT-RPC, yes. You need a Servlet Container.

You think, if you are starting with GWT try first with:

2. Create a Google - Web Application Project and get it to run under

You don't loose time with configurations. Then you can generate the WAR and deploy in a tomcat server. In time your project grow I recommend gwt-maven-plugin for manage your project.

PD: Sorry my english

Hi there,

I am about to create a web application using GWT + MySQL. My
understanding is that I need to set up an external server (Tomcat) in
order to use a MySQL back-end. What's the best way of doing this:

1. Create a Tomcat - Web Dynamic Project and get GWT up and running.
2. Create a Google - Web Application Project and get it to run under
Tomcat.

I have tried both and I haven't been able to get a simple example up
and running.

If anyone can shed any lights here I would really appreciate it.

Cheers
