Re: How to host GWT app on remote server

Thomas,

Thanks for the info...gwtjsonrpc looks especially interesting.

However these solutions seem to be at the RPC level...e.g. to allow
cross site RPC calls.  What about the GWT UI?  How does the GWT UI get
mashed with the host site?  Seems like the GWT war would have to be
split with its client code still hosted by the main hosting site?
Maybe I'm missing something here?  Can someone elaborate how this type
of thing would get deployed?  The goal is to keep all of the GWT war
remote...as much as possible.

The UI is built by your *.nocache.js and *.cache.* scripts. If you use the xsiframe linker, you can load the code from whatever server and it'll "just work".

Integrating into a non-empty HTML page is as easy as using RootPanel.get("some-element-id") as the root(s) for your UI.

What about CORS...does that help?

That'd help for communicating with your server (RPC), without the need for JSON-P or similar, but obviously won't work with IE (until IE10 is widespread).
