Is GWT 2.7.1 is compatible to IE11 ?

[jayashreemk]

Hi Team,

Our users recently moved to Win10 machine, one of our application which is built on GWT 2.7.1 is not loading few components on first load but the same will be loaded if the user refresh the application.
Note: Users are using IE11 to access the application.

Issue: Suppose the component is user name, on launch of application the user is able see there name on home screen. When the user changes or switch on another screen on application, the component User name is not displayed.

How it works?
In our code, we are first connecting to our database to collect the user information (i.e., on Home screen) and the same details will be saved in event bus/Listener. When user switches to other screen, using event bus/Listener we are displaying the user details on that screen.

In win10 machine, if we change user agent string to ie8 on developer tools is solving the problem. But when we try to handle the same through code using userAgentPropertyGenerator is throwing an warning stating
WARN, "Unrecognized user.agent values IE11 , possibly due to UserAgent.gwt.xml and " + UserAgentPropertyGenerator.class.getName() being out of sync".

Can you please confirm is IE11 is supported in GWT 2.7.1 ? Because when i cross checking the UserAgentPropertyGenerator.class "safari, ie10, ie9, ie8, gecko1_8" are handled in UserAgent method.


Thanks

You previously wrote to us about this same problem, but still haven't provided any of the necessary details. Again, please revisit the FAQ and the Debugging overview to see the basic information you need to gather, and how to gather it.

We'd like to be able to help you, but currently you are making it impossible but not following the basic procedures of support.

As far as browser support in general, GWT's browser support only matters if you are using GWT APIs (as opposed to SmartGWT APIs - our product). You can take a look at the documentation for GWT to discover what versions of GWT officially support what versions of browsers. Updating to the latest GWT *might* be necessary if you are using GWT APIs directly, but the first step is still to gather the standard information that is required whenever a support issue is filed, as we previously requested.
