Testing app with subdomains in development-mode

[Gilad Egozi]

Hello,

I have a GWT application that supports multitenancy by subdomains.

I want to be able to test my app in development mode.

I am able to access my app using either:

http://localhost:8888/MyApp.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 

or

http://127.0.0.1:8888/MyApp.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 

But I'm NOT able to access it using

http://subdomain.localhost/MyApp.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 

I'm developing on a Windows machine. I'd modified the HOSTS file to map subdomain.localhost to 127.0.0.1 - And yes, I'm sure that the mapping is alright since I AM able to access http://subdomain.localhost:8888/_ah/admin.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks,

Gilad.

What error did you get?

Does adding -bindAddress 0.0.0.0 to the start up command help?

Did you add your domains to the list of hosts in the GWT Developer Plugin configuration?

Hey Joe,

The error I'm getting is the usual:

Plugin failed to connect to Development Mode server at localhost:9997

Follow the underlying troubleshooting instructions

Could you please elaborate more regarding this bindAddress parameter? I'm working in Eclipse and apparently miss some knowledge of the underlying infrastructure :-)

No, I did not. :-)

Could you refer me to some document for this?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, neither the GWT plugin nor the GWT developer mode server support wildcards with sub-domains, so you'll need to configure you're sub domains one at a time (see and star Issue 7003).

you'll need to do the following:

• add the sub domain records to your hostfile
• right click the GWT plugin (on the browser) -> Options -> and add the sub domains to the include list
• add "-whitelist <sub domain name>" to you're devmode run configuration.
