Artifacts Linkers and chains SelectionScriptLinker and Web Worker linker Demo: build a linker Advanced linkers Code splitting Development mode Upcoming features What is a linker? How GWT Loads Code Four step process: Load the host page Load the selection script Load the permutation script Load any runAsync fragments (on-demand) How GWT Loads Code (2) How GWT Loads Code (3) How GWT Loads Code (4) How GWT Loads Code (5) What is a Linker? Shapes the output Javascript into different forms Same input code, different packaging Makes GWT more flexible! What is a Linker? Three output forms for your application: IFrameLinker (default) XSLinker SingleScriptLinker Each form is a linker! Switching Linkers (2) <add-linker name="linker-name" /> Switching Linkers (3) Switching Linkers (4) Artifacts Q: Why not use Ant? A: Metadata. Artifacts public abstract class Artifact<C extends Artifact<C>> implements Comparable<Artifact<?>>, Serializable { Products of the compilation process Provenance metadata: browser/language permutations Artifacts Can be created by: scripts and styles specified in module XML files in the module's public path the compiler (script artifacts) generators (via GWT.create) Gives you a channel to send messages to a linker from a generator (more on this later) Artifact Sets Artifacts passed from compiler and through linker chain in ArtifactSets Sorted collection of artifacts Type-aware find() Artifact Types Final output composed of EmittedArtifacts from the artifact set An artifact that not a subclass of EmittedArtifact is not written to disk But linkers can still find and act on them! Artifact Flow Output consists of emitted artifacts from the artifact set Artifact Flow (2) File in the public path are added directly Artifact Flow (3) Generators contribute binary and other artifacts Compiler contributes CompilationResults Artifact Flow (4) Linkers consume and contribute artifacts Linkers Linker Order public enum LinkerOrder.Order { POST, PRE, PRIMARY; } Order.PRIMARY Responsible for the overall "shape" of the output Controls how the generated Javascript is packaged and run There can be only one! Examples: IFrame and cross-site linkers Firefox extension linker HTML5 Web Worker linker Chrome extension linker Order.PRIMARY (2) Caveats: Bootstrap sequence and global variables required by GWT change between versions "Soft Permutations" are coming soon, will require some changes to linkers Order.PRE Processes artifacts before the primary linker runs Ideal place to post-process generator artifacts and turn them into a concrete, emitted file Example: GWT's RpcPolicyManifestLinker Gathers RpcPolicyFileArtifact generated at compile time by ProxyCreator Summarizes the policy files into one RPC policy manifest Order.POST Post-processing/decoration for generated primary artifacts Repackage, rename, transcode, augment Example: Offline application manifest (demo) SelectionScriptLinker Most primary linkers will subclass SelectionScriptLinker Does the heavy lifting for permutations Outputs: the selection script file: mymodule.nocache.js one strongly-named compilation result per permutation any per-compilation-result deferred fragments Example: Web Worker Linker LinkerOrder.PRIMARY Subclass of SelectionScriptLinker Written by the Speed Tracer team http://code.google.com/p/speedtracer/ Load GWT module as an HTML5 Web Worker! new Worker('module.nocache.js') Example: Web Worker Linker Linker: DedicatedWorkerLinker.java @LinkerOrder(Order.PRIMARY) public class DedicatedWorkerLinker extends SelectionScriptLinker { getDescription() { return "Dedicated Web Worker Linker"; } getCompilationExtension(logger, linkerContext) { return ".cache.js"; } getModulePrefix(logger, linkerContext, strongName) { return ""; } getModuleSuffix(logger, linkerContext) { return ""; } getSelectionScriptTemplate(logger, linkerContext) { return "DedicatedWorkerTemplate.js"; } } Example: Web Worker Linker Selection script: DedicatedWorkerTemplate.js function __MODULE_FUNC__() { var strongName; try { // __PERMUTATIONS_BEGIN__ // Permutation logic // __PERMUTATIONS_END__ } catch (e) { // intentionally silent on property failure return; } importScripts(strongName + ".cache.js"); gwtOnLoad(undefined, '__MODULE_NAME__', ''); } __MODULE_FUNC__(); Demo HTML Offline Manifest Allows applications to run without an internet connection Spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/offline-webapps/ <html manifest="my.manifest"> HTML Offline Manifest my.manifest: CACHE MANIFEST index.html help.html style/default.css images/logo.png images/backgound.png Demo Advanced Linkers Code Splitting New in GWT 2.0 Compiler splits fragments across GWT.runAsync() calls runAsync() call delegated to a LoadingStrategy Code Splitting Default XhrLoadingStrategy will handle nearly all cases Learn more: com.google.gwt.core.client.impl.AsyncFragmentLoader Development Mode New in GWT 2.0 Subtle differences for linking in development mode Learn more: GWT source: Linker.link() vs. Linker.relink() User discussion group Upcoming Linker Features Coming soon: Shardable linkers-distributed linking for a distributed compile Soft permutations-permutations switched at runtime Wrap Up Wrap Up Linkers package, analyze and decorate compiled scripts More structured approach to your output Easy to write most linkers Makes GWT more than just a simple web application compiler User discussion group: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit View live notes and ask questions about this session on Google Wave http://bit.ly/io2010-gwt4 .

  • What Is Dart?
    1 Dart in Action By Chris Buckett As a language on its own, Dart might be just another language, but when you take into account the whole Dart ecosystem, Dart represents an exciting prospect in the world of web development. In this green paper based on Dart in Action, author Chris Buckett explains how Dart, with its ability to either run natively or be converted to JavaScript and coupled with HTML5 is an ideal solution for building web applications that do not need external plugins to provide all the features. You may also be interested in… What is Dart? The quick answer to the question of what Dart is that it is an open-source structured programming language for creating complex browser based web applications. You can run applications created in Dart by either using a browser that directly supports Dart code, or by converting your Dart code to JavaScript (which happens seamlessly). It is class based, optionally typed, and single threaded (but supports multiple threads through a mechanism called isolates) and has a familiar syntax. In addition to running in browsers, you can also run Dart code on the server, hosted in the Dart virtual machine. The language itself is very similar to Java, C#, and JavaScript. One of the primary goals of the Dart developers is that the language seems familiar. This is a tiny dart script: main() { #A var d = “Dart”; #B String w = “World”; #C print(“Hello ${d} ${w}”); #D } #A Single entry point function main() executes when the script is fully loaded #B Optional typing (no type specified) #C Static typing (String type specified) #D Outputs “Hello Dart World” to the browser console or stdout This script can be embedded within <script type=“application/dart”> tags and run in the Dartium experimental browser, converted to JavaScript using the Frog tool and run in all modern browsers, or saved to a .dart file and run directly on the server using the dart virtual machine executable.

  • Cliente Twitter Con Compresión De Datos
    PROYECTO FIN DE GRADO GRADO EN INGENIERÍA INFROMÁTICA CLIENTE TWITTER CON COMPRESIÓN DE DATOS Autor: Plácido Fernández Declara Tutores: Luis Miguel Sánchez García Rafael Sotomayor Fernández Colmenarejo, Febrero de 2013 RESUMEN La popular red social Twitter es usada hoy en día en diversos lugares y momentos, gracias también a las redes móviles que nos proporcionan conexión a internet en casi cualquier lugar. Twitter permite publicar y mandar mensajes cortos de texto plano con un máximo de 140 caracteres, así como la lectura de estos mensajes cortos de otros usuarios a los que podemos seguir para tal propósito. Hacer uso de este servicio en zonas con buena cobertura, o cuando usamos Wi-fi no supone generalmente ningún problema. Es cuando nos encontramos en zonas de poca cobertura cuando vemos problemas para hacer uso de este servicio, ya que las velocidades de descarga pueden disminuir hasta el punto de necesitar decenas de segundos para disponer de los mensajes cortos, los “Tweets”. A esto hay que añadir que los planes de datos actuales están limitados de alguna forma (al alcanzar un número de Mb), por lo que la cantidad de Mb usada es hoy también un factor importante. Para ello esta aplicación ofrece la experiencia de un cliente Twitter sencillo en el que consultar los “Tweets” de a quien seguimos, así como publicar “Tweets”, haciendo uso de un Proxy que comprime estos datos considerablemente de forma que se reducen los tiempos de descarga para las zonas de poca cobertura y además se reduce el número de Mb consumidos por el dispositivo móvil.

  • Google Webtool
    Google Web Toolkit Stephen Bilston Stuart Johnson Eric Fath-Kolmes Ai Ci Lin Andrew Nisbet Presentation Goals What is GWT? An overview of GWT's features. When should I use GWT? Who's using it? Finally what you can do with it? What are the risks? What is Google Web Toolkit (GWT)? Develop Webapps using Java Compile the Java to X-browser Javascript Finally a magic bullet to fix Everything! What's so great about it Abstracts away HTML and CSS Makes Client server communcation easy Has robust 3rd party libaraies Easy deployment Eases Web development Lets you avoid HTML and CSS along with all there vairous oddities Many programmers already know java but don't know JavaScript, GWT moves the task of learning from new languages to what is effectively another library Writing javascript can be weird - GWT removes much of the weirdness Makes client server comuncation easy Two easy methods: GWT-RPC Almost makes server commuincation feel like local method calls Has rather good serialization functionality Request Factory Acts like a fake ORM(Object Relational Mapping) for the client side Normal Ajax if you really want to Has robust third party libaries Smart GWT Widgets Dual licensed Ext GWT More Widgets Dual licensed with reduced functionaliy Vaadin Widgets Server Side functionality(validation, etc) Easy depoyment Uses Java Servlets for GWT-RPC and Request Factory Lots of options(Tomcat, JBoss etc..) If your okay with the abstraction leaking a bit you can use anything to do generic AJAX Php Ruby Perl Whatever Using java server side is an easy sell Code Quality Concerns Debugging -With GWT, you can debug java byte code directly as it was executed in a simulated browser environment.

  • Google Web Toolkit (GWT)
    Google Web Toolkit (GWT) Mark Volkmann [email protected] Copyright © 2007 by Object Computing, Inc. (OCI). All rights reserved. What Is GWT? • An open-source, Java-based framework for creating Ajax web applications • Created and used by Google • Makes writing web applications similar to Swing applications – dramatically reduces the need to understand HTML and JavaScript – maintaining Java code is easier than maintaining a mixture of HTML, JavaScript and Java code • Client-side Java code – compiled to HTML and JavaScript – uses CSS for formatting – restricted to a subset of Java 1.4 for now • Server-side code can be implemented in any language – including Java 5 and 6 – Java-based GWT RPC servlets are commonly used (more on this later) Copyright © 2007 by Object Computing, Inc. (OCI). All rights reserved. Google Web Toolkit 2 1 Why Use GWT? • Creates browser-based GUIs using Swing-like components • No need to write HTML which means no scriptlets • Uses CSS for formatting and some layout • No need to write JavaScript, but can if desired • No messy navigation control with redirects and forwards • Makes asynchronous server calls which results in a better user experience • Ajax features can be implemented without thinking about DOM manipulation • Direct DOM manipulation, if needed, is easy to do • Can easily pass Java objects between client and server – no need to populate Java objects from HTTP data – no need to populate HTML forms from Java objects • Can throw Java exceptions from the server back to the client • Can use Java IDEs like Eclipse, IDEA and NetBeans • Created, maintained, enhanced and used by Google – recognized for their software expertise – one of the few serious Microsoft competitors Copyright © 2007 by Object Computing, Inc.

  • Assignment 1: GWT Tutorial
    Assignment 1: GWT Tutorial Due At the beginning of your next lab (week of September 15th , 2014). Objectives The purpose of this assignment is to guide you through setting up your IDE (integrated development environment), introduce you to the Google Web Toolkit, have you build a sample GWT application and use the debugger to step through your code to fix a bug. Procedure and Deliverables For this assignment you will have to work through the GWT tutorial (step 3). Step 1 and 2 are to help you set up your environment properly. By the end of this tutorial you should have created the StockWatcher application, used the debugger to step through your code to fix a bug and compiled and tested the application in production mode. The TAs will check whether you completed the tutorial during the next lab. Note If you just copy and paste the code from the tutorial into the editor, you might be able to get everything running, but you will miss out on understanding what the code actually does. Since you will be using GWT in the project you should spend more time to understand the code. Step 1 – Eclipse Installation (skip steps 1-3 if software is already installed in lab) Download Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler) from this site: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-standard- 43/keplerr Be sure to select the appropriate version for your operating system. Even if you have an old version of Eclipse, you must install Eclipse 4.3 for this course. I also recommend creating a new directory to use as your workspace for CPSC 310; do not reuse a workspace that you’ve used previously.
