Another strange problem

[Russ Abbott]

The AppController in the second MVP example looks like this.

public AppController(ContactsServiceAsync rpcService, HandlerManager eventBus) {

    this.eventBus = eventBus;

    this.rpcService = rpcService;

    bind();

}

  

private void bind() {

    History.addValueChangeHandler(this);

    eventBus.addHandler(AddContactEvent.TYPE,

        new AddContactEventHandler() {

          public void onAddContact(AddContactEvent event) {

            doAddNewContact();

          }

        });  

   ...  // The rest of bind( ) is here.

}

I didn't understand why bind( ) was a separate function rather than part of the AppController constructor -- other than coding style issues. So I commented out these lines:

//      bind();

//  }

  

//  private void   bind() {

In other words, I in-lined bind(). When I tried to run it, I got a 404 page not found error. But when I put the lines back it, it ran fine. Why should that be?

P.S. It doesn't really run fine. The original version of Contacts used a FlexTable. That was ok. This version uses HTML instead. It doesn't come out very well.
