令Sn Two Modes of Running GWT App Hosted mode Your application is run as java bytecode within the java Virtual Machine(JVM) You will typically spend most of your development time in hosted mode because running in the JVM means you can take advantage of Java's debugging facilities Web mode your application is run as pure javaScript and HtML compiled from your original Java source code with the GWT Java-to-Java Script compiler When you deploy your GWT applications to production, you deploy this java Script and html to your web servers, so end users will only see the web mode version of your application Sourcehttp://code.googlecom/webtoolkit/

令Sn Why Use Java Programming Language for AJAX Development? Static type checking in the Java language boosts productivity while reducing errors Common JavaScript errors typos, type mismatches) are easily caught at compile time rather than by users at runtime Code prompting/completion is widely available Automated Java refactoring is pretty snazzy these days Java-based oo designs are easier to communicate and understand, thus making your AjAX code base more comprehensible with less documentation Sourcehttp://code.googlecom/webtoolkit/

令Sn Why GWT? No need to learn/use JavaScript language Leverage Java programming knowledge you already have No need to handle browser incompatibilities and quirks GWT handles them for you No need to learn/use dom apis Use Java aPis No need to handle forward /backward buttons browser-history s gWt handles it for you No need to build commonly used Widgets > Most of them come with gwt Sourcehttp://code.googlecom/webtoolkit/ 9

令Sn Why GWT? Leverage various tools of Java programming language for writing/debugging/testing For example, NetBeans or Eclipse JUnit integration GWT's direct integration with JUnit lets you unit test both in a debugger and in a browser and you can even unit test asynchronous RPcs Internationalization GWT includes a flexible set of tools to help you internationalize your applications and libraries GWT internationalization support provides a variety of techniques to internationalize strings, typed values, and classes Sourcehttp://codegoogle.com/webtoolkit10
