Re: Resolving client issues when emulated stack trace is not available

You can deobfuscate non-emulated stack traces. Check out com.google.gwt.logging.server.StackTraceDeobfuscator

You need to arrange for the symbol maps created at compile time to be available.

Note that you can also set up another permutation so that you have emulated stack traces or not, and set up two host html files to choose whether emulated stack traces are on. That way, you can have a production compile that most people use, but then occasionally you can switch to see the same thing with emulated stacks turned on.

Emulated stacks tend to show slightly different information from deobfuscated stack traces.
