...Why GWT? The beginnings of rich internet applications started taking off in 2004-2005 with Gmail/Google Maps. jQuery didn't even exist yet. There was a vacuum for tools to build large scale web applications, and leveraging the already mature Java toolchain of IDEs, libraries, build tools, testing frameworks, made good sense.

TGWT is a toolkit to develop Ajax web application with Java.
The programmer writes Java code and this code is translated into HTML and Javascript via the GWT compiler.
The compiler creates browser specific HTML and JavaScript to support all the major browsers correctly.

It's open source, completely free, and used by thousands of developers around the world (in Google AdWords,Orkut,Blogger,Groups)

Deferred Binding:feature of the GWT compiler that works by generating many versions of code at compile time, only one of which needs to be loaded by a particular client during bootstrapping at runtime.
Each version is generated on a per browser basis, along with any other axis that your application defines or uses.

Deferred binding has several benefits:
● Reduces the size of the generated JavaScript code (downloaded by each client) - including just the code needed to run the browser/locale instance (used by the Internationalization
module)● Automatic generation of code (saving development time) to
implement an interface or create a proxy class (used by the
GWT RPC module)● Since the implementations are pre-bound at compile time,
there is no run-time penalty to look up an implementation in a data structure as with dynamic binding or using virtual functions.

EGWT includes a library that emulates a subset of the Java runtime library.

Threads ?
JNSI GWT borrows from the Java Native Interface (JNI) concept to
implement JavaScript Native Interface (JSNI).
Writing JSNI methods is a powerful technique, but should be used sparingly because writing bulletproof JavaScript code is notoriously tricky.
Needed for JSO (Javascript Overlay Types)
JNSI
public static native void alert(String msg) /*-{ $wnd.alert(msg);}-*/;
$wnd: the root browser window GWT widgets are being rendered to
$entry(..): method that makes code reentry safe.

UiB
inde
r ● The UiBinder is a framework designed to separate Functionality and View of User Interface.
● The UiBinder framework allows developers to build gwt applications as HTML pages with GWT widgets configured throughout them.
● The UiBinder framework makes easier collaboration with UI designers who are more comfortable with XML, HTML and CSS than Java source code
● The UIBinder provides a declarative way of defining (parts of the) User Interface.
● The UIBinder seperates the programmic logic from UI.
● The UIBinder is similar to what JSP is to Servlets.

r● DSL (xml) to lay-out (declaratively) widgets
● no loops, no conditionals, no if statements
● UiBinder allows you to lay out your user interface.
● (offers direct support for internationalization)
