I build a Web application using GWT (and/or SmartGWT) that uses a number of forms to collect data. Is it possible to save the progress so that the user can leave the application and when comes back continues with the data (s)he has already entered?
If yes, do I have to use a database?
Of course.
One of the way is use the GWT ‘s RPC framework to make calls to Java servlets .
You do not need a database to store the form data as you can store the form data inside the HttpSession object provided by the Java servlets . You can imagine
HttpSessionhas a built-in data store that allows you to store any number of key/value pairs and each client has their ownHttpSession.You can refer to the followings links/ tutorials to get the basic ideas .
