Re: Questions on Compiling GWT App for deployment

Hi zixzgima,

you only need to compile (javac) the 'shared' and 'server' folder (and
maybe your service interfaces). What resources are compiled (javac) is
a setting in the Eclipse "Java Build Path". There you can deactivate
the compilation of the 'client' folder.

If you haven't got a server side communication you only need to copy
the generated folder by the GWT compiler (the javascript stuff) into
any folder of your webserver (e.g. apache2). Otherwise you have to use
a war and a webserver like tomcat, glassfish, jboss, jetty etc.

I do not see any way and point in using a jar for a GWT compiled app
since these files should be accessible via a browser.

Hope it helps, cheers
