Deploy GWT sample application in Servlet container
Introduction
Since the example project provides a basic Restlet-powered server, it should be easy to deploy it inside a servlet container. GWT does not provide standard way to achieve this task, however, you can still get more information at this URL : http://code.google.com/docreader/#p=google-web-toolkit-doc-1-5&s=google-web-toolkit-doc-1-5&t=FAQ_PackageAppInWARFile.
Our sample application is composed of:
- a client part: static page and files generated by the compilation of the org.rest.example.gwt.SimpleExample class,
- and a server part: that serves resources called from the static page and serves the static files (via a Directory Restlet).
The main task is to generate a correct WAR file. Hopefully this is not very difficult.
Set up the WAR file
Here is the content of the target WAR file:
+ META-INF
- MANIFEST.MF
+ WEB-INF
- web.xml
+ lib
- org.restlet-2.0rc3.jar: Restlet core archives
- org.restlet.ext.servlet-2.0rc3.jar: Servlet adapter for Restlet
- org.restlet.ext.gwt-2.0rc3.jar: Server-side integration with GWT 1.7.
- org.restlet.ext.crypto-2.0rc3.jar: Extension that provide support of the HTTP_DIGEST challenge scheme
- org.restlet.ext.xml-2.0rc3.jar: XML extension
- org.restlet.ext.json-2.0rc3.jar, org.json.jar: JSON extension
- RestletGWTSimpleExample.jar: generated by the ant script, contains the static pages and the code of the server application.
Here the content of the web.xml file:
