Smart GWT, GWT Designer & No Java Server

[Fabe]

Hi,

I want to know if and how I could use the GWT Designer (via a GWT Java
Project) with Smart GWT and make all of that running finally on a non
Java Server such as Apache 2.

I'm creating a web app based on a _GWT Java Project_ and on the Smart
GWT module. The purpose is to make it running on a non Java Server so.

?

Well, the fact that you don't want to use a java server means that you won't be able to use RPC for communicating with the server. That doesn't mean that it's impossible, but do you have any idea how you'll retrieve data from the server ?

And SmartGWT doesn't recommend using GWT Designer:

GWT compiles to Javascript which is served from HTML. If you have no
server-side data requirements you can certainly just deploy your GWT
app and have it run in the client (think AngryBirds...) having been
served from a *web* server (rather than an *app* server).

If you have a PHP (or other) backend then you can get your data via
REST or SOAP web services.
