Update: In GWT Version 2.0.3 seems method will still work!As one of the most tedious things you find when entering the GWT programming must admit I felt the solution to the following question: How does
internal Jetty server that is in the hosted mode used development under Eclipse with the plugin Google to provide the server-side programming JBDC connections or connection pools and other JNDI resources?will probably be almost any reasonably ambitious GWT project sometime before this task. If it does not resolve you would have the enormous advantages of the hosted mode development waive his translation GWT project for each test run (Java -> Javascript) and do without the helpful development functions.
information on the web
In the actual GWT pages you find any particularly useful information. In the thread Setting DataSource (JNDI) in GWT 1.6 (hosted mode - Jetty) in Google Groups can be found, however, help that take us finally to the solution.On my first attempt to solve the problem but I am following the link followed from the comments, because the solution seemed simple:
http://humblecode.blogspot.com/2009/05/gwt-16-using-jndi-datasource.html
also find other helpful links, such as Jetty to appropriate pages. Unfortunately, I am with this solution failed due to the question of how the Jetty server the missing by default JNDI context java: is comp / env available. Therefore, I have finally ended the solution of the Google Groups implemented. This, and the adjustment for our PostgreSQL database will be described below:
bit by bit
first Jetty and JDBC JARs
First you should get the necessary JARs. These are the extensions for a Jetty, on the other hand, the JDBC driver for PostgreSQL. Click the links for the download:Jetty: http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty/
Here you can find to Jetty version 6 Version 7 of the download the Eclipse project can be found. When you download a version 6 in one of the subdirectories to go and the larger (non- src) Get ZIP archive, it to find the two jars.
PostgreSQL JDBC: http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html
JDBC3 the version I have used.
Altogether you the Jetty server then make available the following JARs:
- jetty-naming-*. jar
- jetty-plus-*. jar
- postgresql-*. jdbc3.jar
second jetty-env.xml
In was / / Create WEB-INF / directory the file jetty-env.xml . Here are the resources for the JNDI context can be created. Unfortunately you can only learn from a little any existing configuration for Tomcat, Jetty as many different makes. In our case, in addition to the DataSource configuration information is stored. Both definitions see my jetty-env.xml this:\u0026lt;xml version = "1.0"?> \u0026lt;
- Is used only for the use of the GWT hosted mode development - ->
\u0026lt;configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
\u0026lt;new class="org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.EnvEntry">
\u0026lt;arg> \u0026lt;/ arg>
\u0026lt;arg> meinEnvParameter \u0026lt;/ arg>
\u0026lt;arg type = "java . lang.String> some string \u0026lt;/ arg>
\u0026lt;arg type="boolean"> true \u0026lt;/ arg>
\u0026lt;/ new>
\u0026lt;new id = "jdbc / meinDBPool" class = " org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.Resource>
\u0026lt;arg> \u0026lt;/ arg>
\u0026lt;arg> jdbc / meinDBPool \u0026lt;/> arg
<arg>
<new class="org.postgresql.ds.PGSimpleDataSource">
<set name="User">meinPostgresBenutzer</set>
<set name="Password">meinPostgresPasswort</set>
<set name="DatabaseName">meinePostgresDatenbank</set>
<set name="ServerName">localhost</set>
<set name="PortNumber">5432</set>
</new>
</arg>
</new>
\u0026lt;/ configure>
The appropriate resources must of course be, as always, defined in the web.xml :
\u0026lt;resource-ref>
\u0026lt;res-ref-name> jdbc / meinDBPool \u0026lt; ; / res-ref-name>
\u0026lt;res-type> javax.sql.DataSource \u0026lt;/ res-type>
\u0026lt;res-auth> Container \u0026lt;/ res-auth>
\u0026lt;/ resource-ref>
But that should already be the case in most cases.
third env context configure
One problem is overcome now: Jetty known in the standard configuration or not Environment Context, which is what you queries typically:
Context initCtx = new InitialContext ();
Context myenv = (Context) initCtx. lookup ("java: comp / env");
Jetty might want to be kept lean this way for certain scenarios, but here it is another stumbling block is that is overcome. There seems to be possible to supply the Jetty XML configuration of context, but unfortunately I have not figured out how. It is therefore in the way described Google Groups taken, which is to implement your own starter class for the internal server.
The GWT uses by default the class
com.google.gwt.dev.shell.jetty.JettyLauncher
to the server for the hosted mode launch. This class is located, including source code in gwt-dev- windows.jar . This class must be extended. The easiest way is probably where you copied the source code is in a class (when you upgrade to the next GWT needs to see it, perhaps, if anything has changed). Let's call the new class
org.unibi.sm.edit. MyCustomJettyLauncher
and put them in the source directory of the GWT project. Now it's just a matter of the WebappClassLoader foist the corresponding configuration with which he presents the required context is available. Here's the code snippet, in the end finds himself once again the complete MyCustomJettyLaucher.java :
/ / Additional code Start:
private static string [] = {__dftConfigurationClasses
"org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebInfConfiguration" / /
"org.mortbay.jetty.plus.webapp.EnvConfiguration", / / jetty-env
"org.mortbay.jetty.plus.webapp.Configuration", // web.xml
"org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.JettyWebXmlConfiguration",// jettyWeb
};
// Zusaetzlicher Quellcode Ende.
/**
* A {@link WebAppContext} tailored to GWT hosted mode. Features....
*/
protected final class WebAppContextWithReload extends WebAppContext {
/**
* Specialized {@link WebAppClassLoader} that allows outside…
*/
private class WebAppClassLoaderExtension extends WebAppClassLoader {
private static final String META_INF_SERVICES = "META-INF/services/";
public WebAppClassLoaderExtension() throws IOException {super
(bootStrapOnlyClassLoader, WebAppContextWithReload.this);
/ / Additional code Start:
setConfigurationClasses (__dftConfigurationClasses);
/ / Additional code end.
}
are therefore added in the constructor of the inner class that extends the WebappClassLoader , a list of previously defined configuration classes. Last you need now run the Configuration of the project made to launch our new explanation aces are used. This is simply the argument tab under Program arguments adds the following option:
-server org.unibi.sm.edit.MyCustomJettyLauncher
So it looks like:
4th should start
If everything was done correctly, the internal Jetty now start without error messages and the GWT server-side programming can be as described above to access databases and other environment objects.
Important: If To test the effect of changes to stop a possibly running hosted mode environment completely and start again.
The third way
addition to the hint a possible third way between waiving the hosted mode, and the arduous Jetty configuration: Oliver describes a way to get the hosted mode without the built-in server to use. Here then the server-side code and the static content of the project by an external AppServer be performed or delivered. This is especially interesting when you have finished anyway has a configured AppServer for its development. However, Oliver's text refers to a somewhat older version of GWT, the Tomcat was still used as an internal server.
