Building SOFEA Applications with Grails and GWT
In early 2009, Matt participated in a major enhancement of a high-traffic well-known internet site. The company wanted to quickly re-architect their site and use a modern Ajax framework to do it with. An Ajax Framework evaluation was done to help the team choose the best framework for their skillset. The application was built with a SOFEA architecture using GWT on the frontend and Grails/REST on the backend.
This talk will cover how Matt's team came to choose GWT and Grails, as well as stumbling blocks they encountered along the way. In addition, we'll explore many topics such as raw GWT vs. GXT and SmartGWT, the GWT-Plugin, modularizing your code, multiple EntryPoints, integration testing and JSON parsing with Overlay Types.
