Re: Why Don’t You Use Java for Programming the Client-Side Web Apps on Web Browser?

Lofi has some interesting things to look at:  

* GWT Awesome Library List (Gwit a LiLi)

* there is also a boot starter for gwt, but I do not recall the name.

Good starting points are:
*  gwt-maven-archetypes: https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes

*  https://github.com/NaluKit/gwt-maven-springboot-archetype if you prefer Spring Boot on the server side: https://github.com/NaluKit/gwt-maven-springboot-archetype

* There is also are archetype creator from DominoKit

* Nalu project generator: http://www.mvp4g.org/boot-starter-nalu/BootStarterNalu.html (Disclaimer I am the author)

And a good place to ask your questions: https://gitter.im/gwtproject/gwt

Hope that helps.

I am new here, so hello everyone.

I am very interested in this topic. I have gotten tired of the whole javascript ecosystem. I did not know that you could easily have GWT run only on the frontend and used jee/spring/whatever on the backend as you please. I always thought it was a client-server bundle.

Is there a tutorial that shows how it can be done?

How is the compilation speed for code-change/webpage-refresh? I have done scala many years, so I understand how frustrating it can be, even though scala is amazing.

Thanks

Thanks Craig for the info...

I'm not familiar with React (only Hello World 😉)

Can you integrate React with these GWT React frameworks? So write your components in Java and integrate them back into React JavaScript?

• https://github.com/GWTReact/gwt-react
  
• https://github.com/react4j/react4j.github.io
  

I don't know whether it is possible?

It may be possible in react4j to publish a java component as a react component but not without significant overhead/boilerplate. It is also possible to consume a js react component from within react4j with a little overhead and we built some of our early apps like this. However, react4j's sweet spot is when the majority of the application is written in java.

With gwt-react it is much easier to both consume js components and publish java components ... except for the normal constraints of publishing java to js. My guess is that the sweet spot for gwt-react is for applications that combine js components into a java app but I have never used it in anger.
