I’ve been following it for a white now (including two somehwat popular posts about drag and drop and about enums, back when those weren’t so popular..) and it keeps getting better and better. Recently, in version 2.1, they’ve added something called the RequestFactory, [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/avoiding-getter-and-setter-pairs-in-gwt-requestfactory/feed/ 0 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/revival-of-the-yielder-project/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/revival-of-the-yielder-project/#comments Sat, 08 Aug 2009 21:17:00 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=314 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/revival-of-the-yielder-project/feed/ 0 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/simple-solution-to-resource-collection/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/simple-solution-to-resource-collection/#comments Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:24:24 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=301 dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/simple-solution-to-resource-collection/";It’s called garbage collection, not resource collection! Java’s garbage collector has made life so easy for us developers that we sometimes confuse between deleting a reference, i.e. a task the GC does, and releasing a resource – a task the GC doesn’t do. That’s because the GC does something else for us called object finalization, [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/simple-solution-to-resource-collection/feed/ 8 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/using-openid-within-gwt/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/using-openid-within-gwt/#comments Mon, 21 Apr 2008 09:13:44 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/?p=227 dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/using-openid-within-gwt/";For those of you who don’t know what OpenID is, get to know it now. This post is going to be about how to use OpenID authentication in your GWT applications. First, a reminder of what OpenID is: OpenID is a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet.

This completes the set of Java language features added to Java 5 by adding support for enums (much better than my workaround enum), generics and for-each loops. GWT itself even uses generics for the asynchronous calls, [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/enums-generics-and-for-each-loops-in-gwt-15/feed/ 1 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-data-flow-made-resource-efficient/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-data-flow-made-resource-efficient/#comments Tue, 22 Jan 2008 09:27:40 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-data-flow-made-resource-efficient/ dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-data-flow-made-resource-efficient/";This post is all about data flow in the “New I/O” framework. The data flow mechanism in NIO is essentially different from the “old” IO. There are no decorators to data, and the entire framework revolves around getting one thing done, and done really well: transferring data from an external source into the application or [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-data-flow-made-resource-efficient/feed/ 5 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-efficient-ios-granular-bits/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-efficient-ios-granular-bits/#comments Tue, 15 Jan 2008 08:17:13 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-efficient-ios-granular-bits/ dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-efficient-ios-granular-bits/";The Java NIO package is all about performance. That’s why, through this post, the word performance is going to be repeated often, showing where the NIO package increases your application’s throughput. It’s important to note that the “old IO”, the java.io package, is not bad to use and some features of it are not covered [...]]]> http://chaoticjava.com/posts/nio-efficient-ios-granular-bits/feed/ 3 http://chaoticjava.com/posts/drag-and-drop-in-gwt-the-how-to/ http://chaoticjava.com/posts/drag-and-drop-in-gwt-the-how-to/#comments Fri, 12 Oct 2007 19:32:42 +0000 Aviad http://chaoticjava.com/posts/drag-and-drop-in-gwt-the-how-to/ dzone_url = "http://chaoticjava.com/posts/drag-and-drop-in-gwt-the-how-to/";I wrote about GWT’s lack of drag and drop a long time ago, and since then have done many things instead of making a generic drag-drop mechanism as promised. Luckily, some other people have, and it seems like their solution is quite good and solves a wide array of drag-drop problems.

I’m not talking about the majority of data in a database, just the little bits that help the application start itself.

It does have some downfalls, like requiring you to use J2SE 1.4 syntax, so no enum or generics when developing with GWT..
