Google Web Toolkit 2 Application Development Cookbook

If you want to build AJAX web applications with GWT this cookbook is for you. Developers with prior experience of Java development and object-oriented programming will find it very useful. Each recipe is a carefully organized sequence of instructions to complete the task as efficiently as possible. The book starts with developing an application from scratch: creating the layout of the home page with left and right sidebars, a tree like navigational menu, menu bars, tool bars, banners, and footers. You will learn to create forms using Ext GWT library widgets; handle different types of events; design a database for sales processing systems and create it in MySQL; use the Java Persistence API (JPA), entity classes, entity managers, and controller classes in GWT applications; create reports and get output in both HTML and PDF format; configure the GlassFish server to deploy a GWT application with a database; and finally learn to use Speed Tracer and improve performance in web applications.
