[Joel Webber]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to announce that we've posted a second release candidate for GWT 1.5 on the downloads page here:

  http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/download.html

This release candidate includes a number of enhancements and fixes above and beyond those included in the first release candidate. Please see the release notes included in the installation archive for details. We will be updating the public documentation and posting further details on the Google Web Toolkit blog soon:

We're eager to get everyone's feedback, so please try it out!

Maybe this message should be "sticked" instead of the "1.5 Milestone
1" annoucement? ;-)

Not yet updated for me (probably a CDN propagation problem), but the
files are available at:

To clarify, at the moment you should download GWT 1.5 RC2 here:

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/downloads/list

We decided to go ahead and announce RC2 (only) here on the contributors list today. After a short delay, likely a day or two, we'll make more noise on the GWT blog and web site telling the rest of the world.

Sorry about the link confusion in the earlier post.

Great to here,

 

I will be requesting a download and start testing with our application. I hope the RPC serialization issues have been handled ? If not then I don't think we will be switching in the near future.

I tried out RC2 and didn't have much luck with the RPC. I spent
all day trying to come up with a reproducible case, but the problem
kept moving on me. The net of it was that I was getting
ClassCastExceptions
in onFailure() on valid objects. The code that fails on RC2 runs fine
in 1.5RC1.
I do not want to waste any more time on this if it is a known issue.
If it is news to you, please let me know and I will work harder on a
reproducible case.

Thanks,
Paul

This is news to me, please send us a repro case ASAP!

Pambrose -

 

Is it possible you are running into this bug, which is actually a JDT bug:

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=2731

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=243820

Also, can you send the full error message in the GWT Hosted Mode console?  It would be helpful to know which classes GWT doesn't want you to cast.

I restarted from scratch and everything is fine. I think I had a
browser cache issue.
Sorry for the false alarm.

Cheers,
Paul
