So some background, I am working in GWT, using MVP and activities and places. So I have all my stuff working with hyperlinks, and places are changing. I am also using a PlaceController.gotTo(Place).

Now what I want to do is be able to send the person to another place but programatically. Right now with the setup GWT manages the converting of the url into a place, and then fires the activities from that, but what I would like, is to either convert a url to a place, using the same way gwt does it or change the url, and fire a history changed type of effect onto the site.

What I don’t need is an anchor to reload my whole site, I just want to feed a string into something and get the whole place change situation moving.

I want the effect of a hyperlink.

    I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re trying to do, but PlaceHistoryMapper is the only tool that GWT uses: feed a String to getPlace and it gives your the corresponding place. Alternately, you could use History.newItem (note that contrary to PlaceController#goTo, if the user cancels the PlaceChangeRequestEvent, the URL would have already changed).
