Google Application Engine is a cloud computing technology that lets you run web applications that are easy to build and maintain as well as being scaled and load-balanced automatically. To build interesting and interactive web applications developers are turning to Java. However, building and deploying scalable web applications using Google Web Toolkit and Google App Engine for Java can be challenging even to developers. The start to finish approach of this book helps you meet these challenges.

This book is designed to give developers all the information they need to develop their own GAE+GWT applications, with a particular focus on some of the technologies useful for building scalable social-media-oriented applications. It is an easy-to-follow guide that shows you how to get the most out of combining the powerful features of GAE and GWT. It provides you with solutions to many of the problems that arise in developing, maintaining, and scaling web applications.

The book introduces you to the features of Google App Engine (GAE) and the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) to help you build interesting and interactive real-world AJAX applications. Over the course of the book, you are guided by the development of a sample application using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) plugin for Eclipse. To make things easier for you, all application building blocks are explained in detail, walking you through the development process step by step.

The book teaches you the key technologies and methodologies that can be applied to developing your application locally, enhancing your application functionality and accelerating performance, integrating your application with Google Accounts, Facebook, and Twitter as well as monitoring and maintaining your web application.

Packed with great examples and clear explanations, you will be able to build your own web applications that are scalable and reliable using GAE and GWT with Java.

Build a real-world interactive web application in the cloud using GAE/J and GWT, with Push, background processing, OAuth, social media APIs, and more

What you will learn from this book:

* Develop state-of-the-art AJAX web applications with optimized javascript using GAE and GWT
* Explore the basics of using Eclipse via a sample GWT/Google App Engine application generated automatically by the Google plugin
* Learn how GWT works as an AJAX framework, and why it makes you more productive as a developer
* Use GWT RPC for easy client-server communication
* Develop a GWT + App Engine application locally and use Eclipse for “one-click” deployment
* Construct GWT user-interface elements using UIBinder, so that layout and style information is separated from logic
* Integrate your application with Google Accounts, Facebook, and Twitter for user authentication and information retrieval
* Delve deeper, to investigate datastore-related ways to help increase the robustness, speed, and scalability of an App Engine app, and apply these techniques to our “Connectr” application
* Configure, deploy, monitor, and maintain an App Engine application

Approach
This is a practical guide with a step-by-step approach that builds an application in stages. Each stage of the application is used along with screenshots to introduce or develop your understanding of how to write powerful GAE applications.

Who this book is written for
If you are a developer with prior programming experience of Java development and object-oriented programming and want to understand the key concepts of how to build AJAX web applications with Java, then this book is for you. The book assumes some previous exposure to the basics of using GWT, for example at the level of Google’s online introductory GWT tutorials. You don’t need to know anything about Google App Engine. This book will teach you everything you need.

GWT 2 radically improves web experience for users by using existing Java tools to build no-compromise AJAX for any modern browser. It provides a solid platform so that other great libraries can be built on top of GWT. Creating web applications efficiently and making them impressive, however, is not as easy as it sounds. Writing web applications for multiple browsers can be quite tasking. In addition, building, reusing, and maintaining large javascript code bases and AJAX components can be difficult.

GWT 2 Application Development Cookbook eases these burdens by allowing developers to quickly build and maintain complex yet highly efficient javascript front-end applications in the Java programming language . It tells you how to make web experience all the more thrilling and hassle free, using various tools along with GWT SDK.

This book starts with developing an application from scratch. Right from creating the layout of the home page to home page elements including left and right sidebars, to placing tree like navigational menu, menu bars, tool bars, banners, footers are discussed with examples.

You will see how to create forms using the Ext GWT library widgets and handle different types of events. Then you will move on to see how to design a database for sales processing systems and learn to create the database in MySQL with the help of easy–to-follow recipes.

One of the interesting topics of this book is using JPA in GWT. Using the JPA object in GWT is a challenge. To use them perfectly, a mechanism to convert the JPA object into plain object and vice versa is required. You will see recipes to use entity classes, entity managers, and controller classes in GWT application. You will efficiently create reports with parameters, variables and subreports, and get the report output in both HTML and PDF format using real-world recipes.

You will then learn to configure the GlassFish server to deploy a GWT application with database. Finally, learn how to trace speed and improve perfomance in web applications using tracing techniques.

Create impressive web applications with tool bars, menus, multiple windows, and more with this step-by-step guide.

What you will learn from this book:

* Set up and configure GWT SDK, GlassFish server, MySQL server, NetBeans, GWT4NB, Ext GWT , iReport plugins for developing the business application in GWT
* Design a database for sales processing system in MySQL, back up and restore the database
* Identify business entities and the relationships and constraints among them
* Handle events such clicking on buttons, typing in text fields, selecting items in a combo box, selecting radios, selecting menus, and selecting toolbar icons
* Manage entities using entity framework through Java Persistence API (JPA)
* Use iReport for any GWT application to get the output of the reports in both HTML and PDF format
* Create Graphical User Interface (GUI) for accepting user input and display information to the user using Ext GWT
* Control communication between the server and client using GWTRPC mechanism
* Create a WAR file for GWT application and deploy it in Glassfish server

Approach
The recipes in this book are in a straightforward and easy to follow format.The range of topics covered in this book will bring out the forward-thinking Java developer in you.

Who this book is written for
If you want to build AJAX web applications with GWT then this book is for you.
