I am trying Spring roo with GWT. To generate the basic structure I used gwt:setup which generated the initial scaffolding but after that I want to stop the scaffolding, particularly when I annotate my domain class with #RooEntity.
thanks in advance
The solution i found is to rename the generated directory from gwt to something else. Than roo stops generating the scaffolding code when class is marked with RooEntity
I think you can remove the #RooGwtMirroredFrom from the *Record files

everyone.
I'm trying to create new Scaffolded item for simple ASP.NET Wep API application which should be based on domain object class and DbContext derivative in separate assembly. The assembly is in the solution, target app has a reference to it (and manually created code which invokes the classes from my lib is build up without any errors) and, obviously, the classes I've mentioned have access modifier public.
The problem is wizard for creating new scaffolded item cannot see my model classes. (By the way, when the model classes were in another ASP.NET MVC5 app the wizard worked well.) I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Update5.
How to fix this? Any workaround would be helpful too!
Sorry for disturbing.
the origin of the problem seems to be that I've move my data model classes from ASP.NET MVC app into my class library in wrong way.
I've not just cut/paste them, but copy-paste, cut-paste (confirmed replacement).
this is the only thing which could cause the problem (although I still don't know the details).
Never the less I've started from the beginning again and cut/past the data model files initially - everything seems to work fine now.
We implemented a GWT app using a MVP pattern.
Now we wanted to use cachingactivitymapper in that application.
I searched on the web for how to use this. I couldnt get anything.
Can anyone please provide me the example of using cachingactivitymapper.
Thanks,
Sree
You can easily set up one example via Spring Roo ( if you dont get trippped by spring roo related errors). Reference - http://gwtsts.blogspot.in/2011/03/part-iii-exploring-roo-generated-gwt.html

I tried implementing the JavaEE Inject jar from Wicket Stuff. (glassfish v3, wicket 1.4)
- however, the code given in the tutorial doesn't work
method
addComponentInstantiationListener in
class org.apache.wicket.Application
cannot be applied to given types
required:
org.apache.wicket.application.IComponentInstantiationListener
found:
org.wicketstuff.javaee.injection.JavaEEComponentInjector
looks to me like the API has changed. The JIRA link inside
http://wicketstuff.org/confluence/display/STUFFWIKI/JavaEE+Inject
and the Repository link are both broken. Is it still maintained?
Another short question: Is it possible to populate ListView directly with entity beans? I'd like to avoid too many proxy classes.
Thanks in advance
Yes, you can inject a ListView with entity beans. You should do so by creating an implementation of IDataProvider (or one of it's sub-interfaces) for the iterator and have it wrap the entities with LoadableDetachableModel so they can be reloaded instead of serialized as a part of the session.
Figured it out: I didn't expect there to be a difference between 1.4.13 and 1.4.14 but apparently the API changed there significantly.
I have seen that GWT framework is having generator feature.
In what case we have to use gwt generator option and why it is needed?
Can anyone tell me simply why,what is gwt generator? Done some googling. But not much helpful stuffs...
From this tutorial:
Generators allow the GWT coder to generate Java code at compile time and have it then be compiled along with the rest of the project into JavaScript.
This tutorial uses the example of generating a Map of values at compile time based on a properties file.
I've done GWT development for 3 years now and I've written one generator :) I've written a couple of linkers for experimental purposes so I think they are more common, though still rare. The classic case is where you want to write
X x = GWT.create(X.class)
and have the particular subclass or implementation of X constructed at compile time based on, perhaps, annotations in the provided X class or interface. GWT uses them for things like the CSSResource.
Search for "GWT Generator Experiments" site:development.lombardi.com on google for some info about what I did.
One of the use cases is to mimic reflection on the client side by building a factory class on the fly. I remember answering a question posted by you earlier on how to do this
How to create new instance from class name in gwt?
So i guess you already know the application. What else are you looking for? Can you be precise?
I've started using GWT Generators where I needed Java Reflection. I've documented One of the use cases for using GWT generators here:
http://jpereira.eu/2011/01/30/wheres-my-java-reflection/
Hope it helps.
If you refer to code generator, yes, there will a tool supporting GWT 2.1 code generation. For more details and a quick start, see http://www.springsource.org/roo/start
A general roo intro is here http://blog.springsource.com/2009/05/01/roo-part-1/
Another visual tutorial is at http://www.thescreencast.com/2010/05/how-to-gwt-roo.html
Check out this implementation:
http://samuelschmid.blogspot.com/2012/05/using-generator-for-generic-class.html
You can create new Instances of classes on client with foo.newInstance("fully.qualified.class.name");
I'm trying to build database application using GWT 1.5.3. I use JPA annotations with my objects. It seems in hosted mode GWT's RPC works fine. But when I try to compile my app using GWT-compiler I get errors like: "The import javax.persistence cannot be resolved", "Entity cannot be resolved to a type". toplink-essentials.jar is already included in my project path. What settings else do I need to solve this problem?
You can use Gilead (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gilead/) library to seamlessly manage JPA entities with GWT.

You need to include the source code for the JPA annotations in the build path for your GWT project. See here for more details:
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=1830&can=1&q=jpa
Specifically this jar file which will fix your problem:
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=1475633892125294312&name=jpa-annotations-source.jar
The general problem of the JPA and GWT is that GWT itself doesn't support fancy JPA classes, so you just do simple POJO persistent entities DTO that implements the java.io.Serializable and have simple JPA resource annotations. You need to create the entity classes in the scope of the GWT client either have it under the yourproject.client package or add them with
source path="client"
source path="folderOfYourEntities"
in the GWT project's YouProject.gwt.xml file. This will include the entity objects in the GWT client so they can used them on client side of the RPC as well. The DAO must be on the server side and can contain anything that you container supports.
The problem you have now is that when compiling, GWT compiler saids that it desn't know what those imports for JPA annonations are in the entity DTO classes. That is why you need the javax.persistence class and source codes. The jpa-annotation-source.jar reference by Rustmyself works. It is just the javax.persistence compiled class files and source codes files plus a Persistence.gwt.xml. It is a simple GWT module for the javax.persistence package. If you know how to make your own GWT module, you should have problem making all this work. By the way, the official source for the Java EE can be found on the glassfish dev site's build section wiki.glassfish.java.net
There are many other solutions that wrap your fancy PU entities to simple objects automatically using proxy or to lazy load them at run time. They work, but not optimal solutions. The best practice is to make things simple and robust from the start by having POJO JPA DTO entities on the GWT client context and full blown DAO on the server.
GWTPersistence Example
I have added an actual working example on how to make GWT and JPA work seamlessly. It is a NetBean project with source codes and deployment file. See GWTPersistence on NingZhang.info
Ok, I've found what I was missing. I needed to include jpa-annotations-source.jar in my GWT-compiler path in myapp-compile.cmd script (or in ant build file). By the way can anyone tell me the origin of this jpa-annotations-source.jar file?
I am also working with JPA <--> GWT data transformation etc.
In an effort to eliminate the DTO layer I used Gilead too.
My objection here is about translating javax.persistence. To avoid this I used XML JPA mapping declarations (orm.xml)
Simply, keep another version of your Entities but without the annotations!
Rebounding on synergetic's comment, you now (from GWT 1.5) only need to add
<source path='javax.persistence'/>
to your Module.gwt.xml
