Re: WebSocket (JSR 356) + DevMode

Thank you Thomas,

I'am not hot for removing HtmlUnit and jetty from the gwt-dev.jar, I really prefer keep the official releases.

The Brian's proposal is IMHO the best approach. I just need to make it as simple as "mvn gwt:dev" or "gradle gwtDev" for both maven and gradle.

I think that gwt-dev.jar should be split. Extracting the test stuff and the DevMode in separated jars would help to better master the scope of the dependencies.

Start here <https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=8747> and follow links; the Gerrit guys had to do it as they depend on Jetty 9 too (for other purposes than websocket though; and they don't use GWTTestCase, hence HtmlUnit).

The workaround consists in using a customized gwt-dev though (where they strip the Jetty classes), so you'll have the same problem for downstream users of your library.

I think Brian's proposal (comment #10 in the issue) is the best current outcome: people who want to use WebSockets will have to deploy them in their own JSR356-aware container, and launch SDM with -launcherDir (equivalent to -noserver with DevMode, just slightly lighter). You could still create a custom Gradle task for those who use Gradle, that doesn't mean you're forcing anyone to use Gradle (people using Maven might already be running a separate servlet container anyway, "because Maven")

Hey folks,

I'm implementing a nice way to use WebSocket on PWT.

Ideally I would love to be able to use it with the DevMode.

But actually the DevMode embeds Jetty 8 because of HtmlUnit. And the JSR 356 is only supported since the Jetty 9. 

Does anyone has a workaround to run DevMode or SDM with a jetty 9?

I thought to implement a new ServletContainerLauncher, but I guess that I'll face some classpath troubles.

I also imagined to create a custom gradle plugin in order to run a SDM with a -noserver option and run jetty 9 in the same task, but I do not want to force people to use gradle if they want use PWT.

Thanks for your help or any fresh ideas.

regards
