gwt-site-webapp

This project includes the server an client code of the GWT site It does not include the site content which is in the gwt-site project nor the utilities for uploading the documentation to GAE Servers which are in the gwt-site-uploader project.

Requirements

Apache Maven 3.0 or greater, and JDK 7+ in order to run.

• Before building the project you may need gwt-site packaged file. Go to the gwt-site folder and run:

    $ cd [...]/gwt-site
    $ mvn install
  

• To build and check the app, run

    $ cd [...]/gwt-site-webapp
    $ mvn verify -P full-site
  

  Now you can point your browser to the target/www folder, or you can serve its content with any web-server (i.e serve). Notice that the second way is needed if you want to test site navigation via Ajax.

• Building will run the tests, but to explicitly run them you can use the test target

    $ mvn test
  

Develop and Deploy

Note that as configured, sourcemaps will not work locally - they must be deployed to gwtproject.org because the generated JS will attempt to load them from an absolute URL.

• The target/gwt-site-webapp-<version>.war file (and the target/gwt-site-webapp-<version> directory) contains the generated JavaScript and sourcemaps, and can be deployed along with the generated site content.
• The target/www directory contains the generated JavaScript, sourcemaps (and Java sources), and the generated HTML from gwt-site itself, and is suitable for deployment directly to a server.
