Ive installed the Google Plugin for Eclipse and created a demo project using App Engine and GWT. Now I want to launch and see it. But after compile nothing else happens. Shouldn't there be an integrated browser that shows the app?
You need to right click on the project name and hit run > web application. Compiling it is for deployment, and most likely not what your looking for from running. The key differences here are hosted mode handles the cross-compilation for you, while compiling is meant for deployment of the javascript to your web server.
As far as I know, you just point your browser (any browser) to http://localhost:8080. Is that not working for you?
I get it running externally on the command line with
dev_appserver .
or to upload to the google site
appcfg update .
for python they're .py files and for java their .cmd calls
wish I could mix and match my languages/GAE environments
You can right click your project and goto Run as > Web Application.
You can see that a local Jetty Server.
You can manually type the address http://localhost:8888 or you can access through cmd

I've found a few post on this topic but have not been able to find the best solution.
Attempted to integrate Ionic into IBM MobileFirst (Worklight).
At the moment - I have built a normal Ionic project and moved the WWW folder in the 'common' folder. Also added in the initOptions, main.js and messages.js.
MobileFirst has an awful build process - I hate having to deploy to a mobilefirst development server + preview app for any code changes. I am hoping to get some type of auto reload working within mobileFirst, or at least develop with ionic normally and hav ea job to bring my changes into my worklight project... something that is better than me current situation.
Does anyone have a sample project that actually auto-builds or picks up code changes automatically?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Not sure what do you mean by "auto-reloading"; if you make any changes to the web resources to your project inside the Studio plug-in (in Eclipse) and reload the preview in the browser, it will show the changes.
You are not required to Run As > Run on MobileFirst Development Server for each change. As long as you work on the resources in your workspace, the "auto-reloading" as you call it, should work (make sure you are using the latest available MobileFirst Studio version from the Eclipse Marketplace).
There is also a rudimentary Starter Application that is based on Ionic.
You can download it from here.
There are also several results on the subject matter when searching in Google.
The need to rebuild in order to see changes in your Web components (CSS, JavaScript, HTML) did used to be an annoyance in early versions of what was then Worklight and is now MobileFirst. I forget when the need for a rebuild was removed but certainly in Worklight 6.2 and beyond you now simply need to refresh in your browser.
UPDATE: If using MobileFirst 6.3 you need to ensure that you are on a
suitable patch level. I find that simple refresh does not work in
6.3.0.00-20150106-1717, but if I update (Help->Check for Updates) to 6.3.0.00-20150214-1702 then edit/save/refresh works as
expected.
My personal practice is always to have Mobile Web environment in my project and then choose that from the Console. This loads the application in the browser-based Mobile Simulator that you can tailor to fit your target form-factor. This has a "Go/Refresh" button that immediately reflects your edits.
Alternatively, some folks these days do not use Studio, instead they use the Command Line Interfacer. Possibly this may be more to your taste. You can download it here.
there is a solution with using staff like ionic-cli serve command + symbolic links that will replace common folder.
check here an example https://www.dropbox.com/s/4pvaulo6yo47kb9/lab_7.2.mp4?dl=0
(you just can disable sound, cause i've recorded it in russian) 7-15 minutes of this video
Other option is to organize live-preview yourself using IDE features and/or nodejs
This will work as long as you are working on front-end (mostly non-worklight api) part.
You need to include this lines in the index.html
<!-- ionic bundle & css -->
<link href="www/ionic/css/ionic.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="www/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js"></script>
This may be a vague question but I have been unable to find any help/tutorials specific to my situation and am stuck.
I have built a website using Eclipse (Dynamic Web Project.) I then deployed this application using Tomcat and can see it by going to localhost, however, I am struggling on how to actually deploy it to the cloud.
I am trying to use Google App Engine but am open to other (free) alternatives for deploying my web application.
With Google App Engine, I registered for an account, made a new project, connected it to my github repository and confirmed the correct code is listed.
However, when navigating to project_id.appspot.com (mine is http://mapp-development.appspot.com) I get a 404 error.
I have attempted various deployments and even made an entirely new Google Web Application Project in Eclipse for testing which worked but weirdly deployed to http://1-dot-mapp-develop.appspot.com/ and is the test files which I do not know how to correctly modify.
Is there any way to upload/deploy my existing web application to Google App Engine (as a .war or otherwise)?
I am new to web development and apologize for any unclear specifications. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: I have also tried (in Eclipse) right clicking the project and choosing "Deploy to App Engine" under Google however it states "mapp-website is not an App Engine project".
Edit2: I had a stupid mistake, I confused my Project ID (mapp-development) and app id (mapp-develop). I am able to successfully make a new Google web project and deploy it to mapp-develop.appspot.com
Sorry for the trouble!
Here are three ways to deploy:
Make an App Engine project in Eclipse
Deploy via Git
Deploy via GitHub
It seems like you tried #1 with a project named 1-dot-mapp-develop. If you select deploy from Eclipse, a dialog box will pop up with a link to "App Engine Project Settings" where you can change the project name (to mapp-development and version).
I have deployed my GWT application to its target environment (i.e. compiled and copied the war directory contents to the target device's /var/www) and some parts of it are not working. I understand that I can debug my local instance of the GWT app as if it were running in the target environment, by opening the deployed GWT App URL and adding gwt.codesvr URL parameter to it, like this:
http://deployment_host/gwtapp.html?gwt.codesvr=localhost:9997
I get
Plugin failed to connect to Development Mode server at localhost:9997
Follow the underlying troubleshooting instructions
My Chrome browser is running on the same machine as Eclipse, so localhost above should be ok. Just to make sure, I've added -bindAddress 0.0.0.0 in the Run/Debug configuration in Eclipse and tried with my external IP/hostname, with no change, except that the error message is updated accordingly. What am I doing wrong?
If I replace deployment_host with localhost above everything works fine, but it's of no use to me to debug locally. (There is some Proxy and ReverseProxy-ing going on in the local Apache, so I do not need the 8888 port when running locally, but this should be unrelated)
Questions Debugging GWT applications outside of dev mode? and Debug GWT application in a remote browser are related but do not help.
If you are using chrome, look in the address bar at the right for a grey GWT icon. In any other browser, you would see a popup message confirming that you want to debug, but in Chrome this apparently isn't possible.
Click the icon, and it will ask you to whitelist this site as allowed to run Java locally on your computer. After you whitelist it, it should run correctly.
Along the same lines as the answer above Ive just had some success restarting the extension helped (but restarting browser hadnt)
Just enable and disable it in :
chrome://chrome/extensions/
Good luck! It's the only thing wrong with GWT imho...
I am using GWT 2.3.0 as a plugin for Eclipse to develop a web based application
Unfortunately, when I try to run my application I get:
plugin failed to connect to developer mode server at 127.0.0.1:9997
and
onModuleLoad() threw an exception :java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
I have installed the Gwt developer plugin for Google Chrome and every time I run my project it requires me to install this plugin and restart the browser, after which I get the above mentioned problem.
You can solve this issue by:
Right click on your web project -> Run as -> Run configurations.
Select 'Server' and 'GWT' tabs respectively and check on 'Automatically select an unused port'
Clear Cache from your Chrome browser (do the same on Firefox if you are using Firefox, remember the GWT plugin is not available on the latest Firefox versions, 3-10 I believe).
Run and hopefully enjoy.
I know it's an old question but,
I ran into the same problem today.
For some reason (quite unknown to me) deleting the ":9997" from the end of the address fixed it, and the application came up nicely.
Hope this helps.
Look at http://notepad2.blogspot.com/2010/12/debug-google-web-toolkit-applications.html for a step by step instruction on how to set up chrome, particularly the last part on how to setup the plugin using an external web server.
For the first problem that you faced : plugin failed to connect to developer mode server at 127.0.0.1:9997 , just clear your browser cache and try once again.
Just happend to me today too, and I've managed to fix it:
It turns out that the set of the GWT modules to be loaded is configureable; by referring to one of the GWT html's from the browser, it appears I was actually trying to connect to a page under a module that has been removed from the run-config's modules list. So, one more thing to do is to verify the list's content:
In eclipse: "Run Configurations" > Web Application > (your app) > GWT tab > Available Modules
In IntelliJ (that's what I've used): Edit Configurations > (select your GWT config) > GWT Modules to load
The GWT Plugin may be need to restarted
First Clear Browser cash
Second : try the following on chrome browser
-
open : chrome://extensions/
Go to : GWT Developer Plugin
uncheck the Enabled box
check the Enabled box
Open URL again and have fun :)
I fixed the issue by only clearing the browser cache. I am working with Firefox 15.0.1
i have installed the glassfish eclipse tools bundle...
i can start a project like dynamic web & a ear project and deploy them on the glassfish... it works perfect & under the localhost url i will get an hello world
but how i do this if i want to make an application client. please help...
at the moment i simply created an "app client project in eclipse" & added it to the same ear,
but i have no idea how to start this...
help - any tutorial how to start?!!
Not the only only answer to this question but the appclient approach mentioned in Jeff's answer is a viable approach, but I was able to execute a client using this mechanism in eclipse and I wanted to share that approach.
This approach will let you execute a java application with a main method acting as a client.
What you want to do is setup an External Tools Configuration.
Create a new Program type of external tool configuration.
Set location to point to the path of the appclient, for me
(using embedded glassfish eclipse plugin) it was [PATH TO ECLIPSE]\plugins\oracle.eclipse.runtime.glassfish_3.1.1.0\glassfish3\glassfish\bin\appclient.bat
Set working directory to your output/build directory e.g.
${project_loc}/target/classes
Set arguments to ${java_type_name}
Select the class in your project with a main method that you wish to run as the client app and then select your external tool from the run external tools menu.
There are two ways to do it. I'm afraid I can't be very specific, but I can point you in the right direction. (I'm just learning myself)
You can enable Web Start for the application client EAR in GlassFish. You can do this either in the deployment descriptor (so it's enabled every time you deploy) or you can go into the GlassFish admin console, navigate to the Application, and check the checkbox to enable it. I have made a little progress on this approach.
You can run it manually from the command line using, I believe, the "appclient" command. I have not been able to get this working yet.
Good luck, and if you learn more, I'd appreciate it if you let me know since I'm in the same boat as you.
