GWT cache.html files.

[Jarek Suchanek]

Hi Everyone,

I am working on converting old GWT project to the latest version. I have no prior experience with GWT. My old project includes html, js, and xml files. My problem is that when I rebuild that project in IntelliJ with the latest version of GWT all I get is .js files.

Is that correct?

Thanks

Jarek

Yes.

The "linker" (which is the last step in the compilation process, and is pluggable) was set by default to "std" (also known as IframeLinker) prior to GWT 2.7 and it produced *.cache.html files; starting with GWT 2.7, the default linker is "xsiframe" (aka CrossSiteIframeLinker) and it produces *.cache.js files.

You can also use SSO linker which produce one single script file for all application. 

And (form my perspective) you do not need permutations for all modern browsers (except you want to run on IE8):

Try this (in .gwt.xml):

<set-property name="user.agent" value="safari"/>

<add-linker name="sso"/>

Thanks Thomas. I appreciate your help. 

What I tried was to go to 2.6.1 version of WGT and after rebuilding the project I can see that the linker was set to Standard. The problem is that the *.cache.html files were still not created. Is there an additional setting I have to change to be able to create those files?

Thanks

I managed to get the *.cache.html files after fixing some project issues. So I am getting one .cache.js file and a few .cache.html files. The problem I am having now that those files work fine in Chrome but they do not work in IE. Any ideas what to do?

Thanks

The SSO linker doesn't work with Superdev Mode. You could try the following instead for modern browser only targeting:

<set-property-fallback name="user.agent" value="safari" />

<set-property name="user.agent" value="safari" />

As far as I know there is no need for

<set-property-fallback name="user.agent" value="safari" />

if you have the only perm so the one line enough:
