Sounds like you haven't setup your caching correctly. Mine always works perfectly, never have to clear the cache in dev, or when doing a server update. Here's my Filter:

*/
@Component
@Order(1)
public class ServletFilter implements Filter {
private static final String NO_CACHE = ".nocache.js";

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
String requestURI = ((HttpServletRequest)request).getRequestURI();
// Don't cache the nocache
if (requestURI.endsWith(NO_CACHE)) {
setNoCache((HttpServletResponse)response);
}
// Request HTTPS
((HttpServletResponse)response).setHeader("Strict-Transport-Security", "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains");
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
private void setNoCache(HttpServletResponse httpResponse) {
long currentTime = new Date().getTime();
httpResponse.setDateHeader("Last-Modified", currentTime);
httpResponse.setDateHeader("Expires", currentTime - 86400000L);
httpResponse.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
httpResponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");

One thing that is also quite relevant when developing a GWT application is to realize that all GWT generated code lives in the browser and that browser caching can be a problem. Whenever you do a GWT compile and want to check the result in the browser, make sure to clear the cache first because the old code will very likely not be reloaded.I always have the developer mode in the browser open when developing and never click reload, but always 'empty cache and hard reload'. You will need it a lot.The same goes for server updates. Best to do them late in the day or early in the morning, so users can't have stale code in their browsers.Either that, or learn them to do the hard reload (but you can also try and learn dogs to fly, that might have the same level of success).Neil, I think you are trying to learn GWT in the hardest way possible.GWT is a way to develop a UI using java, but it is not run as java, and at runtime will not have the same possibilities as java.So it has its limitations when compared to what you can do with java on the server.When you've developed something for standard java to work, based on all available libraries and known server possibilities, which you want to port to GWT is like trying to port a sportscar into a tractor. It's not impossible, but it is quite the challenge.On Thu, Dec 19, 2024 at 9:56 PM <google-we...@googlegroups.com> wrote:

I am getting this error on the server:
Type 'com.propfinancing.puzzle.slitherlink.Line' was not included in the
set of types which can be
serialized by this SerializationPolicy or its Class object could not be
loaded. For security purposes,
this type will not be serialized.: instance = Line 0
And looking in the .gwt.rpc file, it is not listed there.
Interestingly, I see this:
com.propfinancing.puzzle.slitherlink.Line$STATUS
which is an Enum in that class so the GWT compiler obviously processed the
class.
I did not get any warnings or error messages from the GWT compiler as to
why it
decided it did not like the class so now I have to guess what it did not
like.
Is there a way to improve the messaging to the user to help understand
what happened?
Thank you,
Neil

At a guess, the inner enum needs to be told it can be serialised. Ie:
import com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.IsSerializable;
enum STATUS implements IsSerializable { ... }

Enums never need to be marked as serializable - unlike records, the Enum
type itself is always serializable, and GWT-RPC assumes the same. From
https://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideServerCommunication.html#DevGuideSerializableTypes
A type is serializable and can be used in a service interface if one of the
following is true:
...
* The type is an enumeration. Enumeration constants are serialized as a
name only; none of the field values are serialized.
That error message is indeed what is used when the standard serialization
policy is read from disk, so you've resolved that earlier issue. Can you
confirm that the policy file does include Line (that is, it is correctly
reachable from the remote service instance)? If not, the GWT-RPC generator
(run when the compiler is invoked) might not have seen a clear path to how
this type could be used. Common reasons for that include declaring a field
as being of type Object, which in your head means that any type could be
assigned, but GWT-RPC doesn't want to mark every possibly class as
potentially serializable (both for security reasons and to avoid generating
serialization code for your client for every possible type).

What are the consequences of not having the values?
Reading on the Internet, it means I can't use valueOf() and ordinal().
But, does it work normally otherwise?
Can I assign a constant value to a field, read that value, and compare the
value to one of the
constants?

Unfortunately, it is silent about the reason.
I am hoping we can improve it help the developer instead of leaving me to
make guesses.

Hi Neil,
If you hardcode an url in your GWT calls, it will be tied to that specific
url. Local testing will not be possible (outside of hacking your own hosts
file) and if you modify your servername you'll need to update your source
code.
The webserver is the perfect place to forward your request to the tomcat
instance.
For apache webserver you can do this with the mod_proxy module. Nginx has
the same with proxy_forward (or something similar, don't know by heart).
rg,
Leon.
Vassilis Virvilis <vas...@gmail.com>: Dec 19 09:15AM +0200
I agree with Leon and I can only add that there is also libapache2-mod-jk
to directly proxy from apache to tomcat. The elevator's pitch is about
speed but I think that is also simpler to understand and setup.

I wrote a very simple class:
*package* com._3dmathpuzzles.slitherlink;
*import* java.io.Serializable;
*public* *class* TestPuzzle *implements* Serializable {
*private* *static* *final* *long* *serialVersionUID* = 1L;
/** Constructor */
*public* TestPuzzle() {
*super*();
}
}
And updated my RPC call to use it and I still get this:
Exception while dispatching incoming RPC call
com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.SerializationException:
Type 'com._3dmathpuzzles.slitherlink.TestPuzzle' was not assignable to
'com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.IsSerializable' and did not have a custom
field serializer.
For security purposes, this type will not be serialized.: instance =
com._3dmathpuzzles.slitherlink.TestPuzzle@40a58058
I am not sure what to do about this. My class implements Serializable
and has a no-arg constructor.
Thank you,
Neil

You're triggering the LegacySerializationPolicy... we should make that
clearer when it happens.
This occurs when your <hash>.gwt.rpc policy file wasn't present on the
server (or wasnt at the expected path). Legacy serialization is much more
strict in what it will accept.
Generated policy files ensure that the server and client agree on what can
be serialized. This file is generated into the same directory as your
.nocache.js file, and should be available on the server if running in
production. If running with super dev mode and a separate server, you can
direct the server to download the current policy file from SDM by
specifying system property gwt.codeserver.port with the localhost port to
the SDM server. Be sure to reload the server application or hot reload
classes if they change, so that the server side classes match the client
(and the client's policy file).

I saw a warning about that in the log but not know what it meant.
I am serving the client side files from Apache and the server side files
from Tomcat so they are separate.
Where does the server side code expect the .gwt.rpc file to be?
Colin Alworth <co...@colinalworth.com>: Dec 18 06:11PM -0800
The server expects the client to tell it where the file should be, and the
client reports that the file should be in the same directory as its
.nocache.js file - we call that the "base directory" of a gwt application.
RemoteServiceServlet.getSerializationPolicy is responsible for looking this
up, based on the incoming request, and the expected name of the generated
file (according to the client). If using SDM and a port provided as I
mentioned, this method will defer to getCodeServerPolicyUrl() if no policy
file was found on the server itself. Otherwise, you'll see the warning you
mentioned.

I see this in the log:
com._3dmathpuzzles.play.server.GetPuzzleServiceImpl: ERROR: The module path
requested, /play/DiagonalSlitherlink/, is not in the same web application
as this servlet, /3dmp. Your module may not be properly configured or your
client and server code maybe out of date.
Looking at the source code for RemoteServiceServlet, I see that it wants
the module path to start with the
webapp context, but it does not match in my setup.
Is there a way to override the behavior, maybe load it manually or
something?
I see a method putCachedSerializationPolicy but it is private.
Thank you,

I decided to stop fighting with GWT and moved the module from Apache
to Tomcat. The test RPC started working once I did that.
I changed the code to try to retrieve my DiagonalSlitherlink puzzle, but it
it is giving me an error. I am investigating.
Thanks for the help!
