Introduction

Ok, that's very cool ... good job! but what's the story with the "old", we can say now, GWT-Ext library? Is going to die slowly, or is going to keep evolving?

Thank you, Sorinel Cristescu

Is smartgwt implemented all in native GWT, like ExtGWT, or does it wrap/overlay JavaScript??

Best, -- Thomas

another Question: no tooltips support? i've tried to add one to a simple button and not found how :-((

Please post questions here : http://forums.smartclient.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14

Showcase works very slow in FF3 comparing to GWT-Ext demo

Just curious as to why the GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE GNU LGPL license description is not in the headers of the source files? All open source files that I have seen that are published under GNU LPGL have the license description in the header. The source files here only have a two links, which may point to the GNU LGPL license now, but the link contents could be changed with out notice. Looks dubious, sort of like the same experience over at ExtJS?

A10008051, please educate yourself on this topic and think twice before posting such comments. The source code of SmartGWT includes a header in the precise format recommended by GNU and includes the license description in the header.

do i need the gwt to start my helloworld application. anyone with a clear guide for start using smartgwt with examples can email me at apul.gatuma@gmail.com

i had a precise knowledge on working with GWT and GWTExt. I like to shift to SmartGWT with SmartClient?. Can any one help me to set the environment with Eclipse IDE. Thanks in adv. Vijay

I have currently started with GWTEXT. We decided to use it for our new project. Then I came across SmartGWT. I am bit confused whether to use it or not. We are to use it in a WAMP environment. The project is an RIA for NGOs.

Is smart 1.0b2 compatible with gwt1.6?

I am missing the images and css information for gwtsmart widgets.

Thanks for creating SmartGWT.

I'll be using it in one of our projects =)

Hi sanjiv.jivan, Thanks, it is really a great job. I'm using Django (python) as a backend, and I'm very confused what is the best client-server communication technique I should use. I'd personally prefer JSON, and my question is: Does JSON do the full data binding job such as fetch/edit/delete?

Thanks in advance.

ich war grad dabei extjs zu verwenden fürs nächste projekt, aber smartgwt ist einfach smarter ;)

@khannayaab smartgwt is the way to go

I used GWT Ext recently and I can't find anything similar to this page: http://gwt-ext.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tutorial:Introduction_to_GWT-Ext_2.0

This was good guide (no Eclipse necessary, please!), how to downloand both packages, what to copy where and it was usable for existing projects - which is very, very important. I honestly don't know how to grasp the SmartGWT. Only thing I really need is some usable tree, but Hello World example is anything but useful for this purpose.

Is there any guide as good as this? Coz I'd love to use SmartGWT.

http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase

Go to a Tree / Sample , Copy&Paste code

I don't see how the hello world project is of any use as a starting point. A GWT project has naming conventions and custom settings that cannot be copied from one basic template project. HOW ABOUT A DECENT TUTORIAL ONS SETTING UP GWT2.0 AND SMARTGWT???

Yes you have to add a module inherit and a JS call inside your host page. They write thousands of lines of code but these simple instructions seems to escape them. Their documentation is about as good as the product itself...

Is SmartGWT free for developing a commercial web site/application?

I agree with virgo47. If this is so mature technology as it is stated, there should be a very easy to reed and follow start-up guide. The sticky in the forum stated in getting started is everithingn but useful. I have also been using GWT-Ext, and if SmartGWT hopes to take GWT-Ext's place then developers should consider writing a startup guide similar in quality as GWT-Ext's: http://gwt-ext.com/wiki/index.php?title=Using_Eclipse

I hope to see something as easy to read and follow-trough as this. It's a shame that so many potentional developers are rejected from SmartGWT in the start merely for the lack of one well written starting article. They too are future potentional buyers of PRO/Power/EE licences that are going away from this nice product.

Best regards, i'm off back to pure GWT, unless i find something usefull today. I have a deadline for my simple poject.

No documentation??

For everyone looking for tutorials for setting up, those were on the Tutorials page. We've added a link so it's unmissable.

Have a look at the tutorials here -> http://uptick.com.au/content/getting-started-smartgwt

And here -> http://hilloldebnath.byethost3.com/2009/08/29/smartgwt-a-getting-started-guide/

I use the RestDataSource? ,ds.setDataFormat(DSDataFormat.JSON),and want to use the "performCustomOperation" method,but I do not known the format of returned data form my server, need help,thanks.

uptick.com.au Tutorials is great, thanks mark.java.johnson.

Anyone have wsdl example?

There is a post re gwt-platform and smartGWT here -> http://uptick.com.au/content/gwt-and-smartgwt-best-practices

Is there a way to use GWT google maps library (http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/wiki/MapsGettingStarted) together with Smart GWT? I cant seem to get it to work. I have made separate applications with Smart GWT and Google Maps Library but i cant seem to combine them.

Could someone give me a small code sample for this?

k;ik

i do not find a way too of put google maps to work... my solution:

build a popup and control it with the resize handler: Window.addResizeHandler(this);
