History onValueChange() not called when application is loaded?

[hbf]

Dear all,

I am following the instructions for History management
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsHistory.html
but even though I register my history handler in onModuleLoad(), it
does not fire when I load my application with a fragment in the URL.

It does fire, however, when I manually change the fragment in the
browser URL field.

Does anybody have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Kaspar

Looking at the tutorial http://mangstacular.blogspot.com/2011/12/gwt-history-mechanism.html
it seems that at application startup, no history change event is
fired. I couldn't find any official documentation confirming this, but
the text

"The application was just started and was passed a history token."

on http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsHistory.html
makes me think it should be fired...

You either have to call PlaceHistoryHandler# handleCurrentHistory or History#fireCurrentHistoryState depending on what you're currently using


http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/2.4/com/google/gwt/place/shared/PlaceHistoryHandler.html#handleCurrentHistory()
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/2.4/com/google/gwt/user/client/History.html#fireCurrentHistoryState()

This happened to my application before, maybe you can try implementing
the interface instead of History.addValueChangeHandler

Like this:

public class MainEntryPoint implements EntryPoint, ValueChangeHandler {
// stuff
@Override
public void onValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) {
// do your stuff
}
}

Cheers.
