Re: Unable to Access GWT CodeServer Outside of WSL Environment

Hi Craig

That works - awesome!
We have been using GWT since 2010 for our monolith of a project and have never found the need to change the maven plugin. Whats the improvements over the old plugin?

Kind regards - and thanks again!

I haven't used that old plugin for awhile, but I think you need to set the  bindAddress to 0.0.0.0:  https://gwt-maven-plugin.github.io/gwt-maven-plugin/eclipse-mojo.html#bindAddress

You might like to do a test with generating a sample app with https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes which will use https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-plugin instead, and see if that works.  More instructions here:  https://www.gwtproject.org/gettingstarted-v2.html

I am encountering an issue with accessing the GWT CodeServer from outside the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environment. I'm hoping to get some guidance or assistance on resolving this issue.

The problem arises when attempting to access the GWT CodeServer running within the WSL environment from a browser outside of WSL.
Specifically, I can access the GWT application's main page from my browser by navigating to localhost:8001, but I cannot connect to the CodeServer at http://localhost:8501.

From within the WSL terminal i can telnet the port and it looks good, but i cannot from the outside host.

My theory is that the codeserver only accepts connections from localhost - but i do not know how to set a host="0.0.0.0" or something like that on the jetty running the codeserver.

We use the org.codehaus.mojo gwt-maven-plugin with these settings:
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.10.0</version>

        <skip>true</skip>

        <noServer>true</noServer>
        <compileReport>false</compileReport>
        <logLevel>INFO</logLevel>

        <strict>true</strict>
        <port>8001</port>
        <debugPort>8010</debugPort>
        <codeServerPort>8501</codeServerPort>
        <runTarget>managerclient.html</runTarget>
        <hostedWebapp>${project.basedir}/src/main/webapp</hostedWebapp>
        <persistentunitcache>true</persistentunitcache>
        <persistentunitcachedir>/tmp/gwt-${project.build.finalName}</persistentunitcachedir>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Please let me know if you need anymore information
