Re: Controlling desktop windows size and position.

It's very helpful thanks, can you put me on the right track as regards
to how I would interact with the server side through GWT. Would I
simply post requests to the server side script or could I interact
with in using Ajax?

I suppose I just need to understand the high-level aspects around how
I would communicate and pass parameters to a server side application
written in Java.

For example, if I wrote an server side application that listens to a
port can I feed information to it through GWT or would I need to go
about it in a different way?

Patrick.
