GXT 2.3.1 to 4.0.2 migration

[Lorenzo Aditi]

Hello,

We used to have GWT 2.4 & GXT 2.2.5 and we migrated to GWT 2.8.1.

Now I am using GWT 2.8 with gxt 2.2.5 and Jdk 1.8.0_291, even when upgrading gxt-2.3.1a-gwt22 I still get this error when maven is building I got this error

jar:file:/war/WEB-INF/lib/gxt-2.3.1a-gwt22.jar!/com/extjs/gxt/ui/client/widget/form/ListField.java' > Line 322: The method append(boolean) is ambiguous for the type > StringBuffer

After searching I thought it is imposible to resolve it, I don't have the right to edit the dependency.

So I decided to upgrade gxt to 4.0.2, am I right?

but when I did all the app broke, most of the Types don't exist anymore and the migration is not well documented on sencha website, they provide a unique page that doesn't help.

Do you have  a tutorial or a guide that helps? or maybe a workaround?

Thanks

Try to change the line 322 of ListField to this:

sb.append(m.get(prop).toString());

How to change that? It is a .class file (compiled) of a the gxt dependency. I don't have the hand over that.
Do you mean creating a class that extends ListField and overriding that method? If so is there a way in java to tell the compiler to use the overidden class instead?

[Lorenzo Aditi]

do you mean to unzip the jar, modify the .java file, compile it and zip into a jar ?

You can create the same java file in the same package in your project's source directory and then adjust the implementation. It should then override the one in your dependencies.

I have described in another thread about patches in GXT. The link:

You can extract all the source code of the GXT jar and created a repository for your company, or put all the source code in the same repository of your app. The GXT 2.x is deprecated, for that reason, I believe the best choice is you create a fork of GXT 2.x.
