GWT- Masterview – Create master screens in GWT applications

GWT-Masterview library is an extension to Google Web Toolkit that provides widgets to filter, sort and paginate your data. It’s easy to use, it’s widgets are fast and it works right out of the box: you can display your objects with just 3-4 lines of code.

Initially I started to look for a replacement to the Displaytag library, which can’t be used in pure GWT applications. Some GWT-extending libraries provided tables, but these tables either were just wrappers of external JavaScript toolkits, or didn’t have filter or paging functionality. So I wrote my own small library, with API similar to the one that Displaytag has, and named it Masterview, because I find it simple to create master screens using it.

Jaxcent – An Alternative to GWT

Jaxcent is a Java-only AJAX framework and API. Like GWT, it does not require JavaScript programming.

 

Unlike GWT, Jaxcent is a server-side framework. Instead of being compiled into JavaScript, the Java code directly runs on the server, and communicates with the client via a small JavaScript file.

Being a server-side framework provides many advantages. The coding is very straightforward. The development environment is the exact one that developers are used to. Any tools, debuggers, JMX/JConsole, third party libraries, text files, databases, everything is accessible in the normal manner.

There may be some concern that a server-side framework may be putting more burden on the server, compared to GWT. However, a GWT-like approach does require the server to maintain, manage and deliver multiple JavaScript files. In real terms, that can be a significant server load. In contrast, Jaxcent has a single small JavaScript file, that will be cached by normal browsers. The actual load on the server is comparable to any server side pre-AJAX framework, such as servlets, JSP, ASP etc.
