Comment on GWT-Wizard: A Wizard Widget for Your Project by Brandon Tilley

The way it works now (and this certainly can change) is that, if you create a two-way link between B and D, then forward on B leads to D and reverse from D leads to B. If you then create a two-way page link from A to D, then A leads forward to D and D backwards to A–the link between B and D is destroyed.

If, instead, you had created only forward links from A to D and also from B to D, then reverse from D would lead to C–creating forward or reverse links does not change the links in the opposite direction.

Thanks for the prompt reply Brandon.
So currently the scenario I described is not supported ?
When you say I can set two way links between pages, do you mean I can set multiple forward pages and use the link manager to decide which one to go to in the forward scenario. But the above scenario won’t work going back if there are multiple reverse links on a page? Does the wizard currently support multiple reverse links described in the above scenario ?

Hi Faisal,

Any non-linear page movement is currently managed by the WizardPageLinkManager. You can set one-way-forward, one-way-reverse, and two-way links between pages.

I actually like the idea you present in your last paragraph and may implement an option for that style of auto-detection.

Hi Brandon,

Great wizard for GWT, well done!

I have a question regarding navigation backwards. If for example I have the following pages arranged:

A->B (Page A has B as its next page)
A->E (A also have E as the next page).
C->B (Page C also has B as its next page)
D-> B (So does d).

I understand that we can use the Navigation event to work out which panel to go to from A when next is pressed.

However, when on page B and I click previous - how does it handle it ? Does it know to go back to the panel that I came from ? or how does it decide whether to show A or C from B when I click previous?

It would make sense if, when I came from panel A to B and click previous, I go to A. and when I came to B from C and click previous I go to C - is this the current behaviour ? Didn’t seem to work for me :-(

Keep up the good work!
Many Thanks,
Faisal.

Comment on Serving a GWT Application with an Embedded Jetty Server by Seven Corners

Thanks for posting this! I have a few questions:

1) How does this get invoked? Do we have to call this name of the class with a Java command, e.g., with a script? Or is there some way it can start automatically?

2) If you’re deploying to/with Jetty, does this mess up your ability to debug within Eclipse in hosted mode?

3) What if we already have a proxy server for cross-site REST calls? Is this going to conflict with that?

4) What about Continuations? Do we need to write a servlet for that? Could I tweak my existing proxy server for that?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Thanks for Sharing. Do you have any examples of your project that saves the information captured to a database. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Comment on Flash 10.1 to Bring Performance Upgrades to the Mac by Matthew Morgan

I just hope the same performance increases come to Linux. I’ll have to try out the prerelease when I get a chance. Flash video rots on Linux in full screen no matter what kind of 1337 video hardware you have.

I hate it when people get into jetty wars. Can’t we all just share? I guess people get frustrated when someone else puts the lid too tight on the jetty jar.

I think I should be eligible for worst pun in the universe for one of those! ;)

All joking aside, this is a really cool feature. I was just thinking the other day about an idea that would require a custom web server, and jetty seems like it would work great! I’ll probably never implement that particular idea, but I really like it when a blog post or article like this comes along and adds another tool to my tool belt so-to-speak that I hadn’t previously known about.

I think right now I’m inexperienced enough to forgive myself of aiming for a few lay-up shots for the time being.

I have no intention, however, of limiting my goals for the long term to anything less than a shot from half court.

There, a sports metaphor from a man who can’t even remember how many people are on a basketball team. ;)

Either that or spread even more flames. This is the Internet, after all. :P
