Developing Google gadgets with GWT

[Михаил Марёнов]

I successfully created gadget using Getting Started with Gadgets and GWT

I want to know:

1. Is it possible to work on gadgets in development mode? I want to change the code and see the results. Or i need to compile and publish the gadget every time i change code?

2. I want my GWT GAE application to be both normal GWT app and a google gadget. When user enters http://mygadget.appspot.com/ i want him to see normal GWT app. But when user accesshttp://mygadget.appspot.com/axogadget/com.axdms.gadget.client.AxObjectGadget.gadget.xml he gets the gadget. Is it posible? Or it has to be 2 different GAE applications? (Normal GWT app and gadget have different functionality). Multiple entry points?

You can manually create a gadget spec and use exactly the same
application for both, but your app won't be able to use the gwt-gadget
API, because it bootstraps from a subclass of Gadget, not EntryPoint.
If you use the gwt-gadget library, it substitutes a different primary
linker and automatically creates the gadget.xml file for you, but
doesn't generate a regular web page bootstrap.

I suggest you use two different top level GWT module definitions and
then just inherit the same sub-modules to implement your app. That
way, you should be able to share a good deal of logic between the two
different ways of accessing your app.
