unsuccessfully trying to run this project to get a better understanding of gwtp

[gautamaino]

Hi,

I am trying to learn and use GWTP. So far I have been very comfortable with Mvp4g.

To get started I decided to check out arcbees public website codebase from https://github.com/ArcBees/arcbees-website . I removed the GAE plugin for deployment and added a couple of repos in my settings.xml and the project is building fine.

The issue is when I am trying to run the project its throwing an error in chrome console Unexpected token < and thats it. No error message / nothing.. Since the project looks very well written I anticipated a better quality error message. Also it doesn't have a configuration to launch a local starting page. I added / to the gwt-maven-plugin and could launch.

Can anyone help me, may be from arcbees team ?

thanks a ton.
Gautam

Hi @gautamaino !
Thanks for reaching out here to ask your question.

I would suggest starting with the basic archetype when learning the basics of GWTP.

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for reverting back.

I would like to start with building a more complex and complete app and
thus the choice of your website since its a beautiful thing. I work with
MVP4g and lot and looking at GWTP as an alternative. I have tried a few
samples and have understood some of the basics. The code there looks
beautiful and promising.

I am a bit puzzled since the your website is a pure maven project and I
couldn't even run it with all the maven goals I tried. I added the required
configuration elements to build and successfully launch the HomeServlet
through the GWT launcher. Is there some magic that I should know to be able
to simply build and launch ?

Since I understand GWTP basics already pretty well I am trying my hand at
something more substantial before making a switch.

Please advise.

thanks,
Gautam

Since you removed the AppEngine part, I guess you could just start the project with
mvn gwt:run ?

[gautamaino]

I did gwt:run after adding a runTarget configuration for root url i.e. / .. and the application starts .. but it never shows anything. Throws an exception in browser console Unexpected Token < .. Can't figure whats going wrong.. it runs the HomeServlet and produces the required html.
