GWT (gwt)

Google Web Toolkit (GWT /ˈɡwɪt/), or GWT Web Toolkit, is an open source set of tools that allows web developers to create and maintain complex JavaScript front-end applications in Java. Other than a few native libraries, everything is Java source that can be built on any supported platform with the included GWT Ant build files. It is licensed under the Apache License version 2.0.

My recent bug fixing experience on Google Web Kit (GWT) with GwtMockito: problem understanding, code refactoring, mocking framework preparation, testing, and comparison between GwtMockito and GWTTestCase.

In my daily work, I have to deal with legacy frameworks. Here are 6 tips that I summarized for bug-fixing, including documentation, searching, testing, patching library and more.

Recently, I helped the GWT community for porting module gwt-safecss to GitHub. I think it’s also a good opportunity to learn more about GWT SafeCss. That’s why I’m writing this study note.

Today, I want to share how to learn GWT 2.8 with Maven GWT Plugin. I wrote this post because the official GWT tutorial has some inconvenience: source code and resources are stored as GWT standard structure, commands must be launched from Apache Ant, JARs and classpath must be handled explicitly etc. I found it more comfortable to start with Maven, the tool which many Java developers are familiar with.

Today, I would like to share with you about how to secure your GWT application by using package com.google.gwt.safehtml. After reading this post, you’ll understand how to:

Secure HTML using SafeHtml
Secure URI using SafeUri
Secure CSS using SafeStyles
