Need Assistance on GWT Designer, PHP/Mysql

[afidegnum]

Hello good morning,

I have just started getting familiar with GWT Designer but there are few challenges I am facing and I need your assistance.

Actually, I am willing to design my AJAX application fetching data from Mysql database, and I am facing great challenges on doing that.

the reason being that most of my clients, have only mysql database installed on their server, and I noticed other distribution such as apache tomcat and derby require a server administrator installing or configuring those tool on their main hosting directory.

anyway, please I need an easy approach to the situatiom.

Secondly, please I have also found GWT EXT and GWT YUI among the tools.

how can I integrate that to DWT designer so I can design visually based on the library?

looking forward to hear from you,

sincerely yours

Hello good morning friends,

prior to the last question posted, I have noticed some of the irregularity among EXT integration to GWT Designer, but I would like to know what about YUI? and guidelines of such integration!

prior to the last question posted, I have noticed some of the irregularity among EXT integration to GWT Designer, but I would like to know what about YUI? and guidelines of such integration!

I had never heard of YUI. Looking at its web site, it is only a v0.0.1, so I wouldn't expect much.

The basic guidelines for integrating custom widgets are listed in our FAQ.

Please, prior to the first question I posted, in the area of connecting GWT to mysql database, I read many forum but I am even more confused not knowing where to stand.

but I need assistance again.

I finally discover we have to install a JDBC driver connecting to mysql, and from there, we can easily interact among the databse. but please once more if you can give me a definite guideline of doing that. the main concern is that , in the forum, many members give reference of downloading a JDBC driver, like connector - J, from mysql, other talked about Hibernate from hibernate.org among others.

but I have noticed most of these require running a shell command. that is mostly available if you have a dedicated server or you have a full administrative control over the servers.

now what is left is working on the share hosting server. the project I am currently working on, the server has nothing java like installed when I glanced through te CPanel . I don't know if that was a correct information I got anyway, I also heard of Apache Tomcat server, when I read it, It got me more confused.

Please I need a step by step guide if necessary on how should I make these successful on track.

I will be grateful if you can help remove that perplexing web covering the whole situation up.

Best Regards,

I'm sorry, but this forum is for questions aboiut how to use GWT Designer; it is not for general GWT questions or general web app development questions.

hi,

visit GWT group,
if you are using hosting service which has no java dedicated server share and is available via cpanel it looks like LAMP based hosting (linux/apache/mysql/php),
there is php/JSON like RPC library for GWT announced recently on group you could find useful:

about gwt/java/mysql integration, eg;

Thanks for helping with some good links.

To everyone else, let me reiterate that this forum is for GWT Designer specific issues.

General GWT questions should be directed to Google's GWT forum.
