Creating a GWT Module
Hello world now done in GWT style. Instead of a static 'Hello World' page, a button will be placed on the web page that will display 'Hello World' when clicked.
Create a package under the root package called client. In that package, create a Java class named ModuleNameApp (e.g., HelloWorldApp.java). Put in the following code:
package edu.umiacs.gwt.hello.client;
import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.google.gwt.core.client.GWT;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Button;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.ClickListener;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.RootPanel;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.VerticalPanel;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Widget;
public class HelloWorldApp implements EntryPoint
{
public void onModuleLoad()
{
GWT.log("onModuleLoad()", null);
final Label lblSayHello = new Label();
Button btnAsk = new Button("Say something");
btnAsk.addClickListener(new ClickListener()
{
public void onClick(Widget w)
{
lblSayHello.setText("Hello world!");
}
});
VerticalPanel vp = new VerticalPanel();
vp.add(btnAsk);
vp.add(lblSayHello);
RootPanel root = RootPanel.get("div1");
root.add(vp);
}
}
Now modify the ModuleName.gwt.xml file (e.g., HelloWorld.gwt.xml) so that it now looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <module> <inherits name="com.google.gwt.user.User"/> <entry-point class="edu.umiacs.gwt.hello.client.HelloWorldApp"/> </module>
The entry-point element should specify the fully qualified path to the class which implements EntryPoint. Now place the necessary information in the ModuleName.html file (e.g., =HelloWorld.html=). It should now contain the following:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name='gwt:module' content='edu.umiacs.gwt.hello.HelloWorld'>
</head>
<body>
<script language="javascript" src="gwt.js"></script>
<div id="div1"></div>
</body>
</html>
Run the project and click away!
Note: During development, first run the project to bring up the shell. From that point on, it is not necessary to re-run the project on any changes. After making changes to the html or java files, just do a build (or even quicker--save all files) and reload in the GWT browser window.
