How to get GWT 2.0 and Restlet 2.0 to play nice
- by Holograham
Hello,
I am having trouble getting Restlet to play nice with GWT in the same project. I have been trying the examples from Restlets website to no avail
I am using Eclipse, Maven2 plugin, GWT, and Restlet GWT. I have never used server side code in this GWT project before and I know there is some custom setup involved. I am deploying locally for the time being using the built in Jetty in GWT Hosted Mode. I can get my front end to display but my back end is not executing.
I did add this to my web.xml file which is from the example (for the time being I am trying to drop the example into my project).
<servlet>
<servlet-name>adapter</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.restlet.ext.gwt.GwtShellServletWrapper</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>org.restlet.application</param-name>
<param-value>org.restlet.example.gwt.server.TestServerApplication</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>adapter</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I did notice that my web.xml file is located separately from my war deployment directory. My project dir structure is setup as follows.
Project Root
src/main/java
src/main/resources
src/main/test
JRE
Maven Dependecies
GWT SDK
src
main
webapp
WEB-INF
web.xml
target
war
<my project dir>
WEB-INF
lib
pom.xml
So there is no web.xml under my war files WEB-INF directory. I am new to this type of application so it is most likely a matter of me not understanding the directory structure and how my GWT project is compiling into these dirs.
Any help is appreciated! If I need to provide any more info let me know.
Thanks
