Re: Calling JSNI function or Java function to handle onClick event

Although GWT obfuscates the produced javascript code renaming methods,
classes, etc, it is possible to use a GWT method from javascript if
you export it storing a reference in the window object:
private native void exportMyMethod() /*-{
$wnd.showAlert = function(name) {
return .@com.example.MyClass::showAlert(Ljava/lang/String;) (message);
};
}-*/;

Take a look to this article I wrote time ago:
