How to create a development/debug and production setup

[Supercobra Thatbytes]

Hello there,

I recently deployed inadvertently a debug version of our game typrX
(typing races at www.typrx.com - try it it's fun).

It was quickly corrected but I know it may happen again. After digging
on Google I found some info how to create 2 different profiles, one
for development mode that has the debug functions and one used for
deployment. Here is what I found from a Google IO presentation. Does
anyone have this setup? Can someone explains how to run this?

MyAppCommon.gwt.xml
<module>
...
<define-property values="debug, release" name="app.config" />
<replace-with class="myapp.debug.DebugConsole">
<when-type-is class="myapp.Console" />
<when-property-is name="app.config" value="debug" />
</replace-with>
...
</module>
MyAppDebug.gwt.xml
<module>
...
<set-property name="app.config" value="debug" />
</module>

Read about deferred binding in the GWT documentation. It will explain the underlying concepts.

Here is what you have to do -

1. Your debug class and production class must inherit from a common class.
   
2. Based on the property (app.config in this case), you choose the correct implementation (debug v/s production)
3. By default, in your Module.gwt.xml - set the property to production.
   
4. Create a new DebugModule.gwt.xml that extends your Module.gwt.xml - and overrides the app.config property to debug.
5. In your ant script - gwtc compile either Module.gwt.xml or DebugModule.gwt.xml based on a suitable condition.
