ANNOUNCE: GWT Server Library (GWT-SL) 0.1.0 Released

[IamRobe...@gmail.com]

http://gwt-widget.sourceforge.net/

This is our first release of a server only distribution for GWT. It
currently contains the latest version of the GWTSpringController as
well as the new GWTHandler, both of which are the work of George
Georgovassilis.

The GWTSpringController in the GWT-WL will be depricated and eventually
removed, so you should use this use the one in this GWT-SL distribution
instead.

Enjoy.

Rob

P.S. - A new GWT-WL should also be out today with mostly bug fixes.

Rob,

I'm using an earlier version of the GWTSpringController - it works -
but when there is a problem in the underlying service then I get a NPE
on line 552 in RemoteServiceServlet in the method respondWithFailure:

servletContext.log("Exception while dispatching incoming RPC call",
caught);

For some reason the servletContext is null and I can't work out why its
null and how to overcome this problem.

The underlying problem is usually due to line 240 within
RemoteServiceServlet:

throw new SecurityException("Method '" + methodName
+ "' (or a particular overload) on interface '" +
serviceIntfName
+ "' was not found, this is either misconfiguration or a hack
attempt");

But because I get a NPE in the respondWithFailure method - this hides
the root cause.

Any thoughts?

Regards
Martin

Hello Martin

I think this is fixed but a new release isn't out yet. I'll contact
Robert and ask him to issue a new jar. In the meantime, you might want
to get the fixed code from the project's svn and make a new jar?

I should have the new jar out by Monday, but like George said, all of
the code is online.
