Can't display Visual Builder in "Hello World" app (Enterprise Edition 2.0)

[stefanscottalexx]

Hi -

I am trying to create a Hello World project including the Developer Console and the Visual Builder in NetBeans 6.8 on WinXP using a recently downloaded 60-day trial copy of SmartGWT EE (Enterprise Edition) version 2.0.

The Developer Console displays fine. Howevever, an error message appears when attempting to display the Visual Builder. (Details below.)

Also, I am curious if the warning dialog saying "Isomorphic SmartClient is expired" is simply a "nag" screen displayed because I am using a *trial* copy of SmartGWT EE 2.0. It was downloaded a few days ago from here:

http://smartclient.com/releases/smar...tgwtee-2.0.zip

+++

The project was developed following the instructions in the FAQ to launch the Developer Console and the Visual Builder:

http://forums.smartclient.com/showth...=8159#aConsole
http://forums.smartclient.com/showth...aVisualBuilder

+++

Here's the results:

(1) When I first browse to the app, a warning dialog appears:

Note: This copy of Isomorphic SmartClient is expired. See http://www.isomorphic.com for a renewal.

Am I correct to assume that this is simply a "nag" screen being displayed because I am using a *trial* copy of SmartGWT EE (Enterprise Edition)?


(2) When I try to display the Developer Console by pasting:

javascript:isc.showConsole()

into the browser URL, this works correctly, displaying the Developer Console in a pop-up window (in IE) or in a new tab (in Chrome). (I haven't tested in Firefox yet :-).


(3) When I try to display the Visual Builder by clicking on the 'Visual Builder' button on the page (added by adapting the code from http://forums.smartclient.com/showth...aVisualBuilder as shown in the MainEntryPoint.java listing shown below), I get a new page showing the following error message:

HTTP Status 500

Here's my MainEntryPoint.java file, which includes code to display Button vbButton adapted from:

package org.yournamehere.client;

import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;

public class MainEntryPoint implements EntryPoint {
    public MainEntryPoint() {
    }

    /** 
     * The entry point method, called automatically by loading a module
     * that declares an implementing class as an entry-point
     */
    public void onModuleLoad() {
        final Label label = new Label("Hello, GWT!!!");
        final Button button = new Button("Click me!");
        
        button.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
            public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
                label.setVisible(!label.isVisible());
            }
        });

        RootPanel.get().add(button);
        RootPanel.get().add(label);

        /**

         */
        final Button vbButton = new Button("VisualBuilder");
        vbButton.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
           public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
             com.smartgwtee.tools.client.SCEE.openVisualBuilder();
         }
     });
        
        RootPanel.get().add(vbButton);
    }
}

Here's the Main.gwt.xml file, inheriting the appropriate modules:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE module PUBLIC "-//Google Inc.//DTD Google Web Toolkit 1.7.0//EN" "http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/tags/1.7.0/distro-source/core/src/gwt-module.dtd">

<module>
    <inherits name="com.google.gwt.user.User"/>
    <inherits name="com.smartgwt.SmartGwt" />

    <inherits name="com.smartgwtee.SmartGwtEE"/>
    <inherits name="com.smartgwtee.tools.Tools"/>

    <entry-point class="org.yournamehere.client.MainEntryPoint"/>
</module>

So almost everything seems to be working fine except I can't get the Visual Builder to display.

Thanks for any help.
