NEW world for me

[koffi jean françois koffi]

I am new GWT developper and I have to make an enterprise application with GWT so I hope that you will be prompt to help me ... Thks

I can tell you I spent the last few years managing a small team to build a complex enterprise app with GWT and I'm happy with the architecture.  170,000 lines of code and counting...

Haven't tried Polymer yet but it sounds promising: https://www.polymer-project.org/1.0/

Seems like a good choice to start with ;) 

Any idea what bits of GWT you are going to use and backend technology? GWT doesn't really tie you to anything apart from Java source and JavaScript runtime.

I'm a huge Widget/UiBinder/Editor/RequestFactory/JSR-303/JPA fan but lots of variations that people use and work fine.

Nothing too fancy, lots of RPCs. JPA for the back-end but we scrub the hibernate collections with Dehydrator before putting them on the wire.  There's some SVG on the front-end to draw some pretty pictures and easily make vector PDFs

We use UiBinder a tiny bit but it feels like overkill when you have custom widgets.

I keep looking at requestFactory, but it seems like more work writing bean+interface+factory+locator than to write bean+RPC.  Is there some advantage there I'm not seeing?

Some of the reasons I like RequestFactory (vs grown up stuff like RPC)

* Integrates nicely with the Editor framework to automatically control what is fetched.

* Can send deltas back of what has changed.

* Intrinsically command based

* The extra interfaces/ExtraTypes seems like boiler plate but I think it is an elegant way to say what you want to go over the wire.

* Integrated nicely with JSR-303

* We have put in custom plumbing to handle Spring authorize annotations too on getters and setters.

For context our app has a lot of bespoke forms (with validation, related fields etc)... 

Not all a bed of roses... have to be careful not to put expensive (space or time) things behind getters with simple types (as always fetched) and as ever java.util.Date is a pain (we use JODA)

Also not the simplest thing when it decides to go wrong (although hasn't bitten us for a few years)

I really like RestyGWT for REST communication with the server, instead of RPC. A good reason to use it is to allow the server to be reachable by any client that can talk RESTfully (not just the web browser), such as native mobile apps and other servers.

If you like Polymer, take a look at the GWT Material project as well ;-)
