Re: GWT compiler question(s)

Not really magic. It goes something like this:

Dev Mode Server (Your environment) <=> Browser Plugin

<=> Is a socket bi-directional channel.

That's an over simplification, but the Browser Plugin receives JS which it typically evals and loads/executes in the browser. So the JS is interpreted in the browser. The java code is not injected there, but JS. So what is manipulating the DOM at the end of the day is JS.

That still blows my mind.  I get that Java code can be compiled into Javascript, but I don't get how Java code running in a JVM manipulates the DOM of a browser. It's like magic -- and I hate magic!
