Preparing for gwt-dispatch 1.2.0

[Robert Munteanu]

Hi all,

I've managed to set aside a little time for releasing a few improvements for gwt-dispatch. I currently plan to handle the following issues:

• Remove need for getActionType() in Action Handlers
• Use the oss-parent POM to simplify the configuration
• Improved Spring integration

Also, I've initiated discussions regarding the two initiatives for behind-the-scenes batching ( Support aggregating actions initiated close together to reduce network traffic,  DispatchAsync implementation that batches actions) , as I am curious to understand the exact use cases involved.

Is there anything else that you would like picked up?

Robert

P.S. I am not sure who has the right to create milestones in the issue tracker, but I don't . Please create the 1.2 Milestone to schedule those tasks for it.

Thank for following up on this Robert. I've created Milestone-1.2.0, and you should also have permission to make future changes.

One more thing: as I am not part of the deployment group on
oss.sonatype.org, can you please stage the 1.2.0 release for testing?

Thanks,

Robert

Hi Robert,
few months ago I tried to use gwt-dispatch 1.1 without gin/guice.
There was a problem because in the code there is some explicit
reference to gin/guice and GWT does not compile because it does not
found gin/guice source code. Is it possible in the 1.2.0 release to
break this dependency of gwt-dispatch from gin/guice?

If you need more details ask me I will try to describe this problem better!

Hi Davide,

In 1.1 there is no direct dependency on guice / gin . The GWT compiler
will complain, but skip the affected classes as they are not directly
referenced by your code.

My minimal sample ( https://github.com/rombert/gwt-dispatch-sample )
works without guice or gin .

If you have a reproducible error, please open an issue.

Thanks,

Robert

Ok, probably I confused a compilation warning with a real error...
anyway I will check.
Thanks again!

Great, let me know if any problems appear.

In the mean time I've added this issue to our FAQ page  .

The compiler gives these messages:
[ERROR] Errors in

But at end it gives also "Compilation succeeded" message.
Probably at the first sight all this error lines confused me.
Anyway the FAQ page is a great idea!
