I started working with GWT images very recently using resource bundles (where the images are linked in at compile time), and was wondering if it's possible to build a site with many (millions) of photos or mp3s using GWT. How does one link in photos at runtime so they don't get cached?

thanks.

The data will be served by your server and your GWT application only knows how to construct URLs pointing to that server data. ClientBundle is for static data that should and will be cached by the client, so for a flickr like app you won't use ClientBundle for the actual images but only for icons, etc used by the design of your website.
