This presentation will cover basic GWT (Google Web Toolkit) and Spring integration as well as more advanced integration using Comet for server side push. The advanced example will use Dojo's Comet Library with the Bayeux Protocol. GWT & Comet were investigated and chosen based on requirements to develop a new web based application to monitor trades that is as responsive as possible and can run in most browers without any plugins. GWT and Comet help address both of these requirements.

This presentation will cover basic GWT (Google Web Toolkit) and Spring integration. Advanced examples will show integration of GWT with Spring using Comet for server side push, including how to integrate Dojo's Comet Library with the Bayeux Protocol. GWT & Comet were investigated and chosen based on requirements to develop a new web based application to monitor trades that is as responsive as possible and can run in most browers without any plugins. GWT allows complex GUIs and event generation while still leveraging Java development skills and Java IDE debug environments. Comet allows the monitoring application to avoid constantly polling the application server and let's the server generate messages for the client's browser whenever an event occurs on the server.

Covered in this talk: * GWT Integration with the Spring Framework * Advanced GWT & Comet Integration with the Spring Framework using Dojo's Comet Library
