Caution: SmartGwt loadup size is big

[mk]

We have a tiny widget from SmartClient's SmartGwt. And it had
increased the intial loadup size between webserver and browser by 2.3MB
+.( js, css)

Thus be cautious if you think this can hamper performance.

(If anybody has solution to above than plz share ).

FYI: We do changed header of script to cache all SmartClient's scripts
forever.

SmartGWT or ExtJS(gwt-ext, ext-gwt) etc.. all have this issue.

"I'd like one tiny tiny feature."

"here are your 1000+ files."

Thanks!

Roger

Is GXT any different in this aspect? Does it support code-splitting? (Unless it is only an alias of one of those you mentioned.)

Hi,

this is the major problem using a javascript wrapper instead of a real
GWT based library.
However, even a poor designed GWT library may (but should not) run
into this problem due to poor dependencies.

SmartGWT is only a GWT wrapper on a javascript library so it is
expected that you would have this problem. If you can stand the
licensing, GXT is supposed to be a pure GWT implementation of their
javascript library, so unused portions of the library are not
included. Due to licensing I have not used it, so I can't speak to
it's effectiveness. The best solution would be to try and find a
project that has the specific widget you want without the overhead.

Yes it does.

Any experiences on performance/download size with GWT Mosaic??
