Hi,

how to user XStream in GWT? If I use it at Server side convert POJO to xml, then how to convert from XML to POJO at client side.

You can use XStream on the *server* side, but not on the *client* side. GWT will only compile your Java source to JavaScript, not any jars you might want to use. You could add the XStream Java *source* to your project, but chances are it uses something else that is not supported by GWT.

Hi, I want to use XStream with GWT. I have written code in GWT application using XStream but when I run application, it threw an error with messages

“[ERROR] Line 235: No source code is available for type com.thoughtworks.xstream.XStream; did you forget to inherit a required module?”

and

“[ERROR] Line 235: No source code is available for type com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.xml.DomDriver; did you forget to inherit a required module?”

How to integrate XStream jar file with GWT application. I got this error while run application in Hosted mode.
Please help asap.
Thanx.

Dominik,

I improved performance on IE7 by profiling on FireFox for getting an idea and then testing in IE7 to see if the idea was actually an improvement. I’m sure this is not a perfect method, but it did work in my case.

Hi,

great article! Wondering how you could improve performance in IE7 if you hadn’t the chance to use a profiler on it?

Thanks

Dominik

Very nice article.

For that ones who does not like the GWT´s serialization I would like to suggest the XStream (http://xstream.codehaus.org/), pretty easy to use. I´m working with it along GWT and the result has been very cool.

Are the performance problems related to java.io.Serializable or IsSerializable or both?

@kail: From the page you are referring to:
“The solution is Firebug Lite, a JavaScript file you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug features in browsers that are not named “Firefox”.”

Note the phrase “some Firebug features”. Unfortunately, profiling isn’t one of them, as you can see in the screen shot on that same page: There are Inspect and Clear buttons, but there is no Profile button.

Well, you can use Firebug with IE, Opera or Safari http://getfirebug.com/lite.html
