EXT-GWT

[sayanb]

I am a Java server developer who just got exposed to the EXT/JS/Web world and would like nothing better to code in Java and expect a code generator to churn out JS. EXT-GWT seems a solution like this. I have a couple of questions regarding it though?

1.Do you support EXT-GWT as well?
2.Any reason you would advice using Ext-JS as opposed to EXT_GWT?
3. In case you an Ext-Developer sees a bug, you can supplement that with non-EXT javascript and/or HTML. We forego this flexibilty when using a code generator. Do you foresee a slightly higher turnaround time for EXT-GWT bug fixes, (since it has to be fixed in Ext first and then EXT_GWT code.

4. What is EXT_GWTs support for plugins ?

1.Do you support EXT-GWT as well?Yes, Ext GWT is supported by Ext, just as Ext JS.
2.Any reason you would advice using Ext-JS as opposed to EXT_GWT?Ext GWT is a great solution for developers with Java experience. You can create, code, test, and refactor your application in Java, just as you would any other Java application.
3. In case you an Ext-Developer sees a bug, you can supplement that with non-EXT javascript and/or HTML. We forego this flexibilty when using a code generator. Do you foresee a slightly higher turnaround time for EXT-GWT bug fixes, (since it has to be fixed in Ext first and then EXT_GWT code.Ext GWT is not a wrapper around Ext JS JavaScript, Ext GWT it is implemented in Java. So if there is a bug in Ext JS, this does not mean there is a bug in Ext GWT. You can patch the Ext GWT code just as you would Ext JS. The difference is you will be making a change to a Java source file.
4. What is EXT_GWTs support for plugins ?Ext GWT widgets can, and are often, extended by developers. The API is fully modular and lends itself to easy customization. There are no "plugins" but rather a modular design that can be extended and customized.
