  • Use case A - client update only

Hosted Mode

During most of your development, your GWT code runs in "Hosted Mode" that lets you debug like a normal Java application from your Eclipse IDE.

Tip
titleTo launch a hosted mode session with OpenSyllabus from Eclipse

Your startup file is OsylEditorEntryPoint-shell.cmd (select it, right-click on it + Open With + Default Editor). It should launch a program from the console.

Deployment in Web Mode

When you have made a client code update only. In this use case, you have to invoke the JavaScript compilation then move the compiled JavaScript to the backend code. Also if your backend code is already deployed in Tomcat, just replace the JavaScript code by the new one.

...

The full compilation process is necessary when for example you change the interfaces of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC).

Tip
titleNote

To save time, use hosted mode as much as possible for client code developments, because,it is faster than a GWT compilation.
