Google Web Toolkit
Home | Up
The Google Web Toolkit is an open source toolkit allowing
developers to create
Ajax applications in the
Java programming language [1]. GWT supports rapid client/server
development and debugging in any Java IDE. In a subsequent deployment
step, the GWT compiler translates a working Java application into
equivalent JavaScript that programmatically manipulates a web browser's
HTML DOM using DHTML techniques. GWT emphasizes reusable, efficient
solutions to recurring Ajax challenges, namely asynchronous remote
procedure calls, history management, bookmarking, and cross-browser
portability.

Available widgets
As of December 2006,
the Google Web Toolkit contains
widgets for:
- Panels (AbsolutePanel, CellPanel, DeckPanel, DockPanel, and many more)
- Buttons
- Checkboxes
- Radio Buttons
- Tables (FlexTable, Grid, etc.)
- Dialog Boxes
- HTML primitives (Images, Hyperlinks, and raw HTML)
- Menus and Menubars
- Scrollpanes
- Tabs
- Trees
Many common widgets not found in the Google Web Toolkit have been
implemented in third-party libraries, such as the
GWT Component Library.
The
rocket-gwt contains many extras which help developers author sophisticated
GWT powered applications including:
- templated based code generation using deferred binding
- bean factories with aop support (on the client)
- cometting of objects
- json serialization
- browser independent css manipulation
- programmatic support for determining and changing (mouse) selections.
- many additional widgets.
