Visual Builder Power Release 2.5 - DataSource Issue

[acole]

Hello Support,

Configuration:

SmartGWT Power 2.5 release
IE 8
Tomcat 6
Visual Builder was launched from the "showcase.war" found in release kit

Issue:

I am attempting to associate the 'animals' data source to a list grid and view the grid using the "File->Test" feature.

Tomcat Log: http://www.nridge.com/smartgwt/tomcat6-stdout.2011-08-19.txt

I tried to attach these files, but they exceeded the size limits.

The underlying use case here is to simply exercise the Visual Builder features for a new project.

Thanks for reviewing this.

Your GWT inherits appears to be wrong and/or you have stale resources lying around that are from the LGPL version of the product (because that's the only version that will ever show this error message).

Instead of running Visual Builder in the Showcase, which is just for a quick demo, run it from a new project.

OK - that makes sense. Launching the application from the client side (using the appropriate Power classes) should be easy enough.

I guess my follow-up question is related to the configuration of the server side - how much infrastructure does the Visual Builder need to run properly?

Should I clone the Showcase server.properties and webapp sub folders or can I simplify the configuration substantially?

Thanks

I modeled the server side after the 'built-in-ds' sample and it correctly launches and recognizes the data sources without errors.

Thank you for your earlier assistance.
