I thought I’d let you know that your post was one of the starting points for writing a plugin to SmartGWT. I wanted to get all of it’s server-side features (no DTOs needed, etc). Feel free to take a look: http://blog.isomorphic.com/?p=346

For including this in Mac OSX and IntelliJ make sure to check out:

It would be nice if Grails dependency management could be used instead of manually download SmartGWT jar and configure classpath.

This is just a two step config at BuildConfig.groovy:

1) Add SmartGWT mavenRepo
repositories {
// …
mavenRepo “http://www.smartclient.com/maven2″
}

2) Add SmartGwt dependencies:

dependencies {
compile ‘com.smartgwt:smartgwt:2.4′
compile ‘com.smartgwt:smartgwt-skins:2.4′
}

But this don’t work with run-gwt-client hosted mode

This thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/grails-gwt/browse_thread/thread/6a7fc0705fe66a13

suggests the plugin will only work with “lib dir” approach, ignoring Grails dependency management.

Are there any updates about this issue?

Best regards,

@Peter
I’m having troubles using the DTO plugin and GWT when I use the DTO classes in the cleint code I get the following ERROR while compiling or running in debug mode:
No source code is available for type grails.plugins.dto.DTO; did you forget to inherit a required module?

Adding Does not help. What am I missing here?

And how do I go from DTO back to domain class again?

I have some questions, who can give me some advice? Thank you very much.

1>Generally, if we use the data widget of smartgwt(or gwt), such as the ListGrid, the communication manner what we use is ? rpc or dataSource.

2>If we use the dataSource(dataSource.setURL(“http://localhost:xxxxxxxx/getList”)), does the smartgwt support the lazy Loading? Such as in a ListGrid, once the scroll bar move, can the data load automatically form the server?

3>if not support the lazy loading, how to do ? We write some cods in the server to implement it, or make some Pag(Previous,Next)?

4>If I write my code like the http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#grid_databinding_lg_fields,
and get the data by rpcService. it will be ok? Does it support lazy loading? or make some Page(Previous,Next) by myself.

5>If we submit a Form(such as “id”,”name”,”age”,”sex”), now I have two manners.
a. by the BuildRequest

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
jsonObject.put(“name”,new JSONString(form.getValue(“name”).toString()));
…..

request.sendRequest(json.toStirng(),…)
b. by the rpc
User user = new User();
user.setName(form.getValue(“name”).toString())
……
userService.add(user)
……
Generally, which is the better?

6> when we add/delete a record, how the ListGrid automatically refresh? By what manners.

Who can tell me the answer and give some example code? Thank for your help.

hello,peter.
If I do not use the DTO plugin,so the domain class can not use in the gwt client.Such as in a Form, and it hava some Fields,how to package the fields to the server,with the form.SetAction() method or rpc ?
I see “this is used only in the very rare case that a form
is used to submit data directly to a URL. Normal server contact is through RPCManager” from the DynamicForm.java.

can i use the json to package the fields,can I use the rpc?
how to do?

It works,very good.it supports sub-package. The pacakge name of SmartButton.java is part of the pakage name of the service.But the order must be correct.So if the service package name –”org.example.service.client” and the SamrtButton package name is “org.example.client”, It will not work，even though config the source path=’xxxxx’ in the SamrtButton.gwt.xml.

Yes, org.example.service.client -> org.example.client.service

As I said, I can’t guarantee that will work, but from memory it should.
