Claudius, (how) does history work across pages? Is there anything special that the app has to take into account to accommodate GWT history and page switches?

Hi Claudius,

Thanks for getting back to me.

“account.html(\\\\?locale=(de|fr))?((&|\\\\?)gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997)?”

Works for both:

-> http://www.myDomain.org/account.html
and
-> http://www.myDomain.org/account.html?locale=de

Thanks again.

Kind regards
Rob

Hi Rob,
does something like this work? It does definitly not solve all necessary combinations of parameters.
account.html(\\\\?locale=(de|fr))?((&|\\\\?)gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997)?
Perhaps this site might help: http://www.regular-expressions.info/
Kind regards
Claudius

Hi Claudius,

I didn’t have any luck with with locales. What I mean is sometimes the URL will just be:

-> http://www.myDomain.org/account.html and

sometimes it will be suffixed with “?locale=de” or “?locale=fr”.

So, “account.html” works when there is no locale but not when there is a locale.

I had a look at the code server regex e.g. “(account.html)?(\\\\?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997)?” which works when there is no locale but not when there is a locale.

Then I reviewed the regex pages -> http://java.sun.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html and tried a combination but I haven’t had any luck yet.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards
Rob

Hi Rob,
yes, of course it is supported. Just add it to your regex! There will be more aid in future versions that handle this and other parameters like gwt.codesvr automatically. Please have a look at the handling of the gwt.codesvr parameter:

Hi Claudius,

To be more precise re “support for locales in the URL pattern”:

@MultipageEntryPoint(urlPattern = “account.html”)
public class AccountEntryPoint implements EntryPoint

http://www.myDomain.org/account.html?locale=de

http://www.myDomain.org/account.html?locale=fr

Kind regards
Rob

Hi Claudius,

Do you support locales in the URL pattern?

@MultipageEntryPoint(urlPattern = “account.html”)
public class AccountEntryPoint implements EntryPoint

e.g. &locale=de

Kind regards

In my post above, I mistyped there and the error message says “gwt-” not “get-”. I’ve added the library, added the annotation, and modified the xml as you indicate, but still get this error when the modules are loaded and don’t know how to debug that further or correct it.

Unfortunately, I’m new to GWT and to Eclipse and I’ve been trying again and again to add your code and library to my primitive project but whenever I launch it in debug mode I get the error massage “invalid module name: ‘multipage.get-multipage’”.

Could you possibly provide a bullet outline somwhere of how to properly set up an eclipse GWT web application project to include your functionality?
