Is it true you're having trouble adding GWT support to a new (or existing) Struts 1.x web application developed in Netbeans (or not) and possibly to be deployed in Google App Engine (or another JSP container like Tomcat)?

I'll be adding the steps pointed below, subscribe to the RSS feed to get a notification whenever i post a new step. You'll find this tutorial a little different, since i don't use (or like using) any other libraries. You'll find the source code in the sources part of the tutorial.

The tutorial walks you through the whole process in small steps:
  1. Add the Google App Engine Server to Netbeans.
  2. Add the Struts framework to Netbeans.
  3. Add the GWT framework to Netbeans.
  4. Create a simple Struts 1.x application.
  5. Add GWT support to a Struts 1.x application. 
  6. Add I18N support to a Struts 1.x application.
  7. Tie the I18N support from both GWT and Struts.
  8. Facebook Authentication (Canvas + Web Application)
  9. Leveraging Struts and GWT, (DevServer / HostedMode) when to use which.
  10. Add a new workflow using Struts.
  11. Add a new module using GWT.
  12. Source code. Where to go next.


If you have any suggestions, ideas for full blown system integration (sb) or comments, leave a message below.

I would appreciate if you could Share this with your friends

    1. Apparently nobody was interested so I stopped posting, I switched from AppEngine to Glassfish, and from GWT to Java Application Clients. Why have a client following almost-like-Swing coding practices when you can have Swing coding practices? and the full power of the server through IIOP? I'll keep posting if anyone is interested in this, but I've been busy moving. Was hired by Novell, Inc. then I got hired by the largest privately-owned retail store chain in Texas. I'll find time. =P
