Re: DevMode as application server

Hi Jens,

Thank you for the quick reply. I have tomcat as external web server.

That should work too, doesn't it?

My files are compiled in {projectfolder}\GWT\war\demo

I am letting tomcat point to that folder and if i would add the following lines to my demo-codeserver task:

<arg line="-launcherDir"/>

<arg value="${rootDir}\GWT\war\demo"/>

Then i get the same result. The browser shows compiling demo, this completes with the following logging:

[java] Linking succeeded -- 4.376s

[java] 13.264s total -- Compile completed

[java] job's progress set to SERVING: com.sweet.demo.webclient_1_0

[java] GET /recompile-requester/demo

[java] Constructing StandardLinkerContext

But then it starts recompiling again and again...somehow get's stuck in a recompile loop.

CodeServer has a parameter named launcherDir which should point to your exploded war directory. CodeServer generates a special index.nocache.js file which needs to be deployed with your war file. Once you have done that, you just have to open the url to your deployed war file.

So in addition to CodeServer you also need a running jetty (local installation or via docker or possibly via eclipse jetty plugin)

Hi all,

With the release of GWT 2.11.0 Using DevMode as an application server is deprecated.

From the release notes:

"Using DevMode as an application server is deprecated, and may be removed or changed in a future release. Please migrate local development workflows to using a general purpose server, or a custom ServletContainerLauncher."

We are using the Devmode as an application server and want to change, to also be prepared for the future.

We are using ant as the build tool and i want to know what to set up to make development mode working.

I did try "just" starting the code server via an ant task:

<target name="demo-codeserver" description="Run Super Dev Mode for demo">

<java failonerror="true" fork="true"

classname="com.google.gwt.dev.codeserver.CodeServer">

<classpath>

<pathelement location="src"/>

<path refid="gwt.classpath"/>

</classpath>

<jvmarg value="-Xmx1024M"/>

<arg value="-bindAddress"/>

<arg value="127.0.0.1"/>

<arg value="-port"/>

<arg value="9876"/>

<arg line="-src"/>

<arg value="${rootDir}\GWT\src"/>

<arg line="-logLevel"/>

<arg value="DEBUG"/>

<arg line="-style"/>

<arg value="PRETTY"/>

<arg value="com.sweet.demo.webclient"/>

</java>

</target>

The ant task starts and compiles the code, but when opening the url, it keeps recompiling. part of the log:

[java] GET /recompile-requester/demo

[java] Constructing StandardLinkerContext

[java] GET /recompile/demo

[java] Job com.sweet.demo.webclient_1_192

[java] job's progress set to WAITING: com.sweet.demo.webclient_1_192

[java] added job to queue

[java] starting job: com.foxboro.foxnl.base.demo.webclient_1_192

[java] job's progress set to COMPILING: com.sweet.demo.webclient_1_192

[java] job's progress set to COMPILING: com.sweet.demo.webclient_1_192

[java] Constructing StandardLinkerContext

[java] binding: user.agent=safari

[java] skipped compile because no input files have changed

[java] 0.187s total -- Compile completed

[java] job's progress set to SERVING: com.sweet.demo.webclient_1_192

[java] job's progress set to GONE: com.sweet.demo.webclient_1_191

[java] GET /recompile-requester/demo

Am i missing a parameter or is do i have the wrong approach?
