Is there a way to compile a GWT application so that all the files

  • 0

Is there a way to compile a GWT application so that all the files are relative to a path different than the usual / ?

E.g. http://www.acme.com/ to http://www.acme.com/app/

I know I could play some server side tricks (based on the pattern com.acme.app.* of the Java class) but the problem is I am planning on hosting multiple GWT apps on the same www subdomain… and therefore GWT’s usual pattern is / relative…

Any hints?

UPDATED: I have a way by modifying the file Main.html manually but I am hoping for a more automated way. Granted that Main.html only needs to be modified once it seems.

    I simply moved the compiled gwt folder.

    e.g.:

    <module zzz.flying.spaghetti rename-to="FlyingSpaghetti">
....
</module>

    would have the gwt compiler place the compiled code into war/FlyingSpaghetti . Then, I would manually move it to subfolder war/peace/FlyingSpaghetti.

    If you have links within your gwt app that refer back to itself, you would need to make sure that those url references are relative. Even GWT RPC @RemoteServiceRelativePath annotation uses relative path – which means that you should have no problem ensuring relative url paths. Perhaps, google expects people to be able to do that (relocate a compiled module).
