[vnbuwa]

Hi All,

I am completely new to SmartGWT.
I want to use it in my existing struts project.

I am having some links on main page .
When I click on those links page will displayed using SmartGWT.
I want to know SmartGWT basics and how I can integrate it with struts .
Can anybody help?

I don't know if it's a best way but I get the PrintWriter from the HttpServletResponse and print the output data in JSON format like the expected
by RestDataSource.

It's working very well.

Just create a gwt modules and create links in your existing struts pages that directs you to gwt host pages. If you want to use rpc, have a look to the sticky thread at the first page of this forum.

This is exactly what i did. Added a link in existing struts app to gwt module but...
"How do I pass values (username etc) from existing struts to gwt?"

Kindly let me know if you guys have any idea. Help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Good idea is to store them in the session.

Overriding service methods works.

	@Override
	protected void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse arg1)
			throws ServletException, IOException {

		String uId = request.getHeader("USER");
		this.setUserId(uId);        
		super.service(request, arg1);
	}
