Spring by Example JDBC, Spring Dynamic Tiles Module, and Google Web Toolkit - No Fluff Just Stuff

Spring by Example JDBC, Spring Dynamic Tiles Module, and Google Web Toolkit

Posted by: David Winterfeldt on August 4, 2008

I almost have everything ready to post a simple Google Web Toolkit (GWT) example with Spring. I have everything checked in and I also had to update Spring by Example JDBC and Spring by Example Dynamic Tiles Module.

Spring by Example JDBC version 1.0.3 was upgraded to match changes in Spring 2.5.5 and HsqldbInitializingDriverManagerDataSource & InitializingDriverManagerDataSource were changed to use SimpleDriverDataSource (which was added in Spring 2.5.5).

Spring by Example Dynamic Tiles Module 1.1 has a number of changes. The project was updated to use Spring 2.5.5, AJAX support like Spring JS and Spring Web Flow is provided, and a few other items (see release notes in the projects README.txt). Also, Spring by Example Dynamic Tiles Module 1.0 was compiled with Java 6, but should have been compiled with Java 5. The projects are basically all ready, but just need a little more testing. Although everything is checked into Subversion.

I'll try to get everything finalized and checked in over the next couple of days. I think the AJAX support that works with Spring JS' Spring.remoting.submitForm is great. It's really nice to have simple and easy control over updating specific div sections that match parts of a Tiles template.
