Re: running gwt server code on apache

Leon, Ed

Thanks for looking at this. I realized I have an apache2 problem at this stage more than a GWT one.

A bit of proxy code in tomcat and apache2 + enabling  proxy_http has fixed the problem. Most of my  enlightenment came from

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/proxy-howto.html#Apache_httpd_Proxy_Support

and also seeing that an apache module was needed from the logs. Production machine is debian and proxy_http does not seem to be enabled by default.

I expect there are other ways to skin this cat, especially since I'm using AJP anyway, but I think I'll leave it here :-)

If you setup apache2 to forward virtual name based hosts to tomcat, apache2 is nothing more than a proxy server to 127.0.0.1:8080. Then you can keep the tomcat fairly simple and straightforward.

There are multiple examples online of how to deploy a .war file to tomcat on the internet. It's nothing more than that.

So mydomain..com is served by apache2 and includes the GWT javascript

Apache2 also has a conf for subdomain.mydomain.com that creates a backend  AJP to tomcat where I serve subdomain.mydomain.com/appA and subdomain.mydomain.com/appB

So I just create a ROOT folder in webapps, pop a copy of my GWT code's WEB-INF there and that does a job.

But not the job! The servelet that GWT server code creates to pass the remote ip to the client code is now running at subdomain.mydomain.com/foo/bar instead of mydomain.com/foo/bar, so the GWT produced client javascript served at mydomain.com and the servelet can't talk.

I feel there must be a solution, but just now I don't see it and even thus far, I feel I'm jumping through hoops. Am I missing a recommended way to do this?

hi Ed

Yes understood and most of  the "app" is GWT produced javascript, part of a web page, which I've always run on apache2 and don't really want to change that for the ip address supplying servelet which is a recent addition. I already also run  a backend tomcat with an AJP connection to apache2 for a couple of  java coded apps. So is setting up the WEB-INF directory of my GWT "app" separately in tomcat the preferred way to do this or at least a possibility?

Prior to adding  the server code the WEB_INF directory was not needed by apache2 I believe, rather just the javascript, directory. so that does appear to be a reasonable way to go?

If I browse to it I get a 405 as GET request are not allowed, but that's not a problem as it does the job it's supposed to do ie pass request address back to client code.

It does not work in production were the code is run on apache; the server is not created as on jetty, so that's not unexpected. I first suspicion was that modsecurity is preventing the creation of the server, but that proves to be not so. I also see the same failure over http as over https.

I have a pretty basic apache2 setup on debian (apart from adding modsecurity) and the site config is pretty bog standard for both http and https. I'm guessing I need to tweak something somewhere to allow the server to be created?

Re: undefined String problem

This is my bad :-)

The problem is me losing track of threading issues, which I've solved

It's *not* a GWT problem

So how to get the same value in some HTML to be displayed in a FlowPanel as in the alert popup? I tried to use the StringUtils.javaScriptString() method, but that does not effect the situation.

If you're hoping to run GWT Designer itself, you probably need a very old version of eclipse - my memory here is that it wasn't used enough to be worth maintaining. The code still lives at https://github.com/gwt-plugins/gwt-designer, but I can't guess what it would take to bring it back to life. I have a memory of this being based on WindowBuilder, and some internal changes in WindowBuilder requiring substantial changes to the gwt-designer project, which never was done.

Re: Illegal reflective access in RPC serializer

The workaround is to use --add-opens but this basically open the full java.util package for reflection which is not ideal. I also tried to replace the custom serializer, but due to the way custom serializers are loaded (using the exact package name), this doesn't seems possible without compiling a custom jar.

You can copy the file and put it into your source directory. However you must also make sure that the serializer is deployed on server side and not only compiled to JavaScript. Serializers supplied by GWT are in gwt-user.jar (for JS compilation) and in gwt-servlet.jar (server). The easiest solution is to fork GWT itself, apply the patch and build your own GWT SDK for now.

 There is a plan to release 2.11 but no concrete time frame: https://groups.google.com/g/google-web-toolkit-contributors/c/JfIAPN6XFCo

Illegal reflective access in RPC serializer

Hi,

Working with Java 21 I have some issues with RPC serializer causing illegal reflective access in LinkedHashMap_CustomFieldSerializer.

I see that this has been fixed in https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/9584 but the fix is not included in the 2.10 release as far as I can see.

The workaround is to use --add-opens but this basically open the full java.util package for reflection which is not ideal. I also tried to replace the custom serializer, but due to the way custom serializers are loaded (using the exact package name), this doesn't seems possible without compiling a custom jar.

Is there any plan to make a release that include the fix for this issue, either 2.11 or a path of the 2.10?

Re: GWT Designer

Thanks. I will check the old version of eclipse. I believe it was Eclipse Kepler which we had used earlier. 

Regards

Sachin

If memory serves, the GWT Designer tool was never part of GWT itself, but was a component that could be installed in Eclipse, allowing for WYSIWYG UI design (in part by running something like dev mode while you were editing?). Changes that the author of the project made were reflected in standard source files (.java and .ui.xml) that GWT itself was able to compile - as such, a newer compiler version can likely still compile (with small or minimal changes to source) such an old project. I would suggest small steps in upgrading, to keep such changes (if any) manageable.

If you're hoping to run GWT Designer itself, you probably need a very old version of eclipse - my memory here is that it wasn't used enough to be worth maintaining. The code still lives at https://github.com/gwt-plugins/gwt-designer, but I can't guess what it would take to bring it back to life. I have a memory of this being based on WindowBuilder, and some internal changes in WindowBuilder requiring substantial changes to the gwt-designer project, which never was done.

Hi All,

We had created an application in 2014-2015. We had used GWT to design the UI of our application.  Unfortunately, we have folded that project in 2017 . I wanted to showcase our project to a prospective customer and was keen to know whether there is some way to migrate the project to the latest version of GWT? 

If that is not possible, I would like to display the screens which we had designed using GWT Designer so that I can at the least create a story around it.

Looking forward to some positive response

Please advise. 

Thanks

Sachin
