I want to design multiple pages using google web toolkit, reading one of the previous answers GWT multi modules for separate HTML pages? suggests that they way to do this is to have multiple modules. Hence I made 2 modules in my GWT application. They compile and run fine but however I find that each has its own folder in the war directory after compilation. Some of the files like UI image components that GWT generates are shared between the 2 modules. I was wondering if there was a way to have it organized that only 1 copy of such files is produced?
From what you're said I can only assume you're using the Image widget and given the referenced post, that you might be using an older version of GWT.
I've worked with GWT 2.1 extensively and not knowing what you're trying to do it might be a worthwhile to check out these out:
Declarative Layout - to design multiple pages (Check out #UiTemplate)
ClientBundle - (See ImageResource)
Depending on the size of the images, you can use this approach to reduce the number of trips to the server by either using image sprites or in-lining it altogether. (Note: IE8 has an in-lining ("data:") has a size limitation of 32KB).
Why are you concerned with the generated UI Image components being duplicated? What problem are you trying to solve here?
For all image components which you supply, you can always put them under war/images and they will be shared.

I have been evaluating Jsweet since the past 4 days in order to finalize a tool that can be used to modernize an application from applet to html5/js based front end. I have been able to try the trial examples where applet based java files are getting transpiled to .js files. As a next step I need to have Jsweet introduced to the an applet based application which has 9 tabs with considerable components like dashboards, report generation related drop downs, date picker elements, tables etc. However this application which I need to modernize is not maven based and hence does not have a pom.xml. It is executed using Tomcat.
Is maven a pre requisite for Jsweet?
My expectations from Jsweet are that if I am able to introduce Jsweet to my codebase like in the example and able to create a build using maven, I should be in a position to get .js files created in the target>js>applet folder. Could these be confirmed please?
You might consider CheerpJ (https://leaningtech.com/cheerpj/) for this project. From your description it seems likely that the applet would work out-of-the-box.
If you want to give quickly give it a try: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cheerpj-applet-runner/bbmolahhldcbngedljfadjlognfaaein

I am developing a website using angular6 and spring boot with microservice architecture.
I have got the UI from designer team in the form of HTML, CSS, and JS file, whose structure is attached here HTML and CSS files
Also, I had created a angular6 project named DIS, whose structure is attached here Angular6 project
What will be the best way to start with angular 6?
How to include these files in angular6 project considering microservices architecture?
If i understood your question correctly.Yes you can do that.
Step 1: You need to create the Necessary components, Modules needed to build your website.
Step 2: Replace the components with the necessary HTML file and CSS file. As you generate a component with CLI you should have those 2 files just replace them.
When you have global CSS files that can be shared among other files as well. You can configure using Angular CLI.
Regards to microservices architecture, that does not have anything to do with your front end applicaiton, its totally on the server side. But you can consider while creating the components based on the services you have.
ng new ng6-proj --style=scss --routing
Just make changes in the main style.scss that will apply globally.
Images you can keep it anywhere, you just need to use it by providing its path
I need some advice on how to load a big applet.
I need to make an instance of JWord text editor to work as an applet, but the editor is about 4 mb.
I'm aware of the java web start solution, but my boss doesn't like it, so I'm stuck with the applet solution.
What I would like to ask you is on how to reduce the user waiting time.
JWord needs about 10 external libraries, so the question here is:
-pack up all in a single big jar?
-make the jars load singularly?
I'm putting this in a jsp page, but the last time I developed an applet the tag "applet" was not deprecated. Now I saw that it's been substituted with "object" tag, can someone help me with that? Point the similarities/differences?
And finally, since this is a big applet, I would like to know if there's the possibility to remove the grey box in the waiting, maybe putting a loading bar in replacement? If so please provide examples! Never done that before..
Thank you
In deference to Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen, I think 4meg is a huge download for an applet. Perhaps that is just me talking from the perspective of my very slow wireless connection. Some people have gone (significantly) further in applet size on LANs with high bandwidth.
Decrease the size of the download.
Use Pack200
& obfuscation (one of the few end purposes for which obfuscation is well suited).
Provide information to the user as applet loads.
Before the applet loads
See Special Attributes of Applets - image.
image The image attribute allows you to replace the default animation with a custom graphic.
Use an animated GIF like the one below, to indicate that something is happening.

After a tiny 'splash' applet loads
Trusted? Loader applet using URLClassLoader for the bulk of the download. Pop a
JProgressBar for the downloads after the initial 'splash applet'.
JWS versus standard deployment
You seem to be assuming a 'JWS solution' will result in a free-floating app. That is not the case since the Plug-In 2 JRE (Sun's 1.6.0_10+). As mentioned in the info. page on the applet tag - visit that page and chase the links for more details.
To use the JWS abilities you might have:
One jar for compatibility applet (used by a pre Plug-In 2 JRE). This results in one single HTTP request & a slightly smaller1 final Jar. (1) Smaller than the total size of a number of Jars.
Multiple Jars for JWS/Plug-In 2 JRE. Lazy loading of dependent Jars by the JRE as needed, or programmatically using the DownloadService classes.
See also the JWS info. page for more information on JWS generally.
Deploying the applet- applet vs. object.
Don't hard-code HTML for it, use the deployJava.js script referred to in both info. pages linked above.
There is nothing wrong with having a large applet, and the dependent jar referred to from the invocation snippet in HTML.
See the applet trail in the Java tutorial - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/deployingApplet.html
Note that there is a limit to the memory available to an applet, and - especially for older Java deployments - this may be too small for your application. In that case the easiest way is most likely the Java WebStart (which for Java 6 supports Applets too) where you can specify your memory needs.
You can shrink your program with the Free and Open Source program proguard. It takes big jars, and removes every class which isn't used.
I am using GWT 2.0.3 with ext version.When I run the application its take some time to load.As much as I know It take time to load some JS file (Not sure about it).For slow internet connection it wiil take more time.
I want to know what exactly GWT application do while loading.If it is loading some JS file the is there ant way to reudce loading time by dividing JS file or by nay other way?
Thanks in advance
When a GWT application loads, it loads all js files contained in your html host page, what means everything client side related is loaded.
To optimize this GWT introduced code splitting some time ago. You can check it here. The basic idea is to divide your application in logical parts, when a user wants to access to another part, its loaded on demand.
To speed up web app loading time, indeed split points are a first step.
But check as well this tool:
http://pagespeed.googlelabs.com
Slowness can also come from uncompressed pictures for instance.
Also, when you compile your GWT app, ensure you use "OBFUSCATED" mode for your compiled javascript, which makes it significantly smaller.

Now if you are using Apache HTTPD as web server, Google has released a wonderful Apache module that implements web app best practices out of the box:

I have a Java Applet application ( achart) on my php Webpage ... Problem here is the Java Applet takes more time to load ... I am thinking of replacing these applets with some similar technology but fast ... I am counting on Ajax... what are my other options ... ?
Java applets load slowly. shrug Its the nature of the beast....
If you have multiple jars, you should check the order of the classpath you provide to your applet. Note that each jar is only downloaded "on demand" whenever a class needs to be loaded. It looks in the first jar, if it can't find the class it looks in the second and so on... You can reduce your startup time by ensuring that all of your classes required for starting up the app are in the first jar(s) listed.
Also, if you are attempting to load a class or resource which is not in your classpath, it must search through all the jars before returning AND hit the server codebase to look there. It can potentially greatly reduce your startup time.
Turn on applet tracing in the java control panel and you should get a better idea of how classes are being loaded out of the jars.
If the size of the applet's JAR library takes to long to download, you can shrink the size with the ProGuard tool. Here is a comparison of the compression ratio for some Java libraries.
Have you packed your jars.....
Have you tried Java deployment toolkit (http://blogs.oracle.com/vaibhav/entry/java_deployment_toolkit_6u10)
with jdk 1.6.10+.....
If its simple charts you want, have a look at:
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/
Yahoo has some nice charting components for actionscript 3 (flash) http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/astra-flash/charts/
Google has a service that will generate charts as images as Tim already pointed out.
Alternatively you could try to speed up the delivery of the applets that you are using - check if they have an Expires header so they only get downloaded once in a while instead of for every page (this won't help on the first view, but will speed up those after that)
Edit: if you only target specific browsers you could try and create the charts using javascript and the Canvas element, but that is definitely not supported by internet explorer. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Canvas_tutorial
I know this answer is a bit late but, it could be that you are just being very inefficent with java or your machine is slow, I have a java program that has quite alot of code as well as accessing an SQLite DataBase and it runs quite quickly, loading within five seconds. If you have anything you don't use in your program then remove it, also try jaring and signing it(not sure if last two things would help.)
