How to run my DETAILED/PRETTY compiled GWT application locally / on app engine?

[Ingo Jaeckel]

hello everyone,

i want to profile the client side code of my gwt application honeycrm.
a lot of times i read i just have to compile my application with
pretty or detailed output style. then i should run and profile it e.g.
with firebug.

compiling my app with another output style is easy i.e. integrated
into the eclipse gwt plugin. but evertime i run my application from
eclipse it is recompiled with obfuscated output style. when i compile
it using "detailed" and then deploy it to app engine, the gwt plugin
in eclipse compiles it again and deploys the obfuscated js code.

how can i avoid the recompilation to obfuscated code and instead run
the js code compiled with detailed output style locally / when
deployed to app engine? i found no documentation/tutorials about this
yet.. thanks everyone in advance!

kind regards,
ingo

When you run from eclipse, you are running in DevMode which does not cause a recompile.

If you compile your app as you like (with DETAILED or PRETTY), run from Eclipse, and then strip the ?gwt.codesvr fragment from your URL, you'll be served up the DETAILED or PRETTY compiled version that you just created. For the vast majority of your issues though, debugging via DevMode (read: in Java) is going to be what you want.

hello chris,

thank you so much for your explanation. i did not know for example
that stripping away the ?gwt.codesrv fragment runs my gwt app in
javascript mode. that is very very useful, thanks for the hint. i
already identified some of my applications hotspots and fixed them!

i summed up my experiences around the topic in the wiki of my project:

happy profiling everyone!

kind regards,
ingo
