GWT + Server Paths

[Markus]

Hello!

In normal Webapps the Server Paths show in which directory the user
is.

Example:

http://www.myDomain.de/news/ <= In the news
http://www.myDomain.de/shop/ <= In the shop

GWT is just one call... So how can I show the Shops on URL /shop/ and
how the News on /news/?

Currently I just add a <div id="shop"></div> and check on the
EntryPoint if a div called Shop exists.. but I think that is not a
good solution.

Thanks for help!

Hi Markus,

I think what you are looking for is implemented with GWT places and the history mechanism.

I suggest you have a look @: http://code.google.com/intl/nl-NL/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsHistory.html 

If you want to combine it with the MVP approach look @: http://code.google.com/intl/nl-NL/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideMvpActivitiesAndPlaces.html 

Good luck.

You can use GWT Places & Activities. Using the default Place implementation you would end up having something like: 

http://www.myDomain.de/#NewsPlace:list (would display a list of news)

Also using a /shop, /news pattern requires the browser to reload the page, each time you navigate from one path to another. With GWT you don't need to reload the page at all. Using hashtags, like already mentioned, enables you to implement a reload-less navigation structure: /#shop, /#news
