Run in Web Mode isn't working for me.

[BillyG]

I followed the directions for installing GWT (which included me
installing Java Enterprise Edition 1.4 SDK first since I didn't have
that already) and then went to where the KitchenSink-compile script was
located and ran that from the CMD Prompt. The resulting msg said:
"Compilation succeeded" so I figured I was done.

The directions here:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/gettingstarted.html#New then say to
throw this:
www/com.google.gwt.sample.kitchensink.KitchenSink/KitchenSink.html into
an address bar but it didn't produce the image I see in the Google
instructions. Instead, it went to Yahoo, which happens to be my ISP and
current email provider, although coincidentally, I just went Google
full-time this morning... another story.

Is it because I did not start the Java App Server Windows service
(which I didn't read to do anywhere yet) or is it someting else? TIA.

I just tried running the shell script and the window did pop up but I
got this error msg:

Failed to load module 'com.google.gwt.sample.kitchensink.KitchenSink'.
Please see the log in the development shell for details.

Which shows:

Failed to create an instance of
'com.google.gwt.sample.kitchensink.client.KitchenSink' via deferred
binding

Unable to load module entry point class
com.google.gwt.sample.kitchensink.client.KitchenSink

Failure to load module 'com.google.gwt.sample.kitchensink.KitchenSink'

I'm only doing what the instructions say so something must be missing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

KitchenSink works for me. All I had to do was unpack the gwt tar ball
and run the KitchenSink-shell scritpt and it worked.

thanks for all the help, I've ran it 10 times now, it just keeps giving
me the same error over and over, I'm running Home vs Pro but I didn't
read anywhere that this mattered, time to reboot, maybe Java needs to
sit better after a reboot

[BillyG]

reboot didn't help, I hate this crap

Finally... contrary to what the instructions say, I wasn't able to pull
anything up with the
www/com.google.gwt.sample.kitchensink.KitchenSink/KitchenSink.html
supplied so I drilled down to that file inside an Explorer window and
when I saw the KitchenSink file with an FF icon, I double-clicked it
and the app opened! This is what is in my address bar (since I put all
this in a GWT directory at root level, for less typing in the prompt
window):
file:///E:/gwt/samples/KitchenSink/www/com.google.gwt.sample.kitchensink.KitchenSink/KitchenSink.html

Obviously, it was not apparent to me that the link provided by Google
in the instructions goes in the address bar WITH THE PATH IN FRONT OF
IT lol.

I hope this helps somebody else. I really do feel better now.

You problem is that you installed J2EE SDK but you need J2SE SDK. These
are two different things.
