I’m pretty new to GWT development and I’m trying to build a web application that uses GWT for the frontend and PHP for the backend. They need to communicate using JSON data exchange.
Right now I have to compile my GWT code every time I make changes and then copy all the files to my Apache server. This is really slow and makes development frustrating.
I was wondering if there’s a better way to do this. Can I run both the GWT development server and Apache at the same time on my local computer? That would let me work on both the frontend and backend code without having to compile and copy files all the time.
Another idea I had was to configure GWT’s development mode to work directly with Apache or Tomcat instead of using its built-in server. Has anyone tried this approach?
What’s the best setup for developing GWT and PHP applications together?
