Trying Grails + GWT for the first time

[ian tabangay]

Hi. Im playing around with grails with gwt but I cant seem to make it work. Im following the tutorial in http://www.lazywithclass.com/code/4/gwt-on-grails but all Im getting is a blank page. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Or could suggest a page that could help a new user like me? I am using grails 2.0.1 and gwt 2.4.0 with gwt plugin 0.6.1.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you comment out the resources plugin in your BuildConfig.xml. There's a problem with the GWT plugin and the new resources plugin. You can use Firebug or the Chrome dev tools to look at the page and see if there are any resources that are failing to load.

Thanks for the help! What exactly do i need to comment out in BuildConfig.xml?

Hi.

I have finally made it work by down grading grails from 2.0.1 to 1.3.7. You mentioned commenting out from BuildConfig. Is this the fix for grails 2.0?
Thanks again for the help!

Yes, comment out the resources plugin from the plugins section of the BuildConfig if you want to omit it from your application. 

I was also able to keep the new resources plugin and make it work by adding this to my Config.groovy file:

grails.resources.adhoc.excludes = ['**/gwt/**']
