Question

I have built my first GWT app. giving no compilation errors neither run-time errors. However, when the application is loaded into the browser (using Interner Explorer) and I enter username and password field to validate the user, it throws exceptions. Using GWT-RPC method, entire code and interfaces are provided.
I’m using HSQL for database connection(back end).

public interface UserService extends RemoteService {
    public String loginuser(String username, String password);
}

—————————-CLIENT ASYNC INTERFACE

package com.vin.client;

import com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.AsyncCallback;

public interface UserServiceAsync {
    public void loginuser(String username, String password, AsyncCallback<String> callback);
}

And many more like these.

Answer 1

com.google.gwt.user.client.Window class provides access to the browser window’s methods, properties, and events. So you can’t use it in Serverside. Better you return String "success" when requirement meets, else return Exception, so that it is caught by onFailure on clientside.
