Transitioning from SmartClient to SmartGWT

[jay.l.fisher]

I've been learning SmartClient using the full download and have successfully connected to a pre-existing MySQL database. I've now downloaded SmartGWT and would like to use some of the same data sources that I have been using with SmartClient. I have the SmartClient server running and have developed a sample app with SmartGWT but using DataSource.getDataSource("datasourcename") results in null. I need step by step instructions on how to transition from SmartClient and still use the existing server side code (i.e. data sources) that I've developed.

Copy the .ds.xml files over and well as WEB-INF/classes/server.properties (has your SQL settings). Use a <script src=> reference to the DataSourceLoader servlet in your .html host file to load the DataSources, as shown in any SmartGWT Pro example that uses DataSources.

where do I put the .ds.cml files?

Corresponding directory ([webroot]/shared/ds by default).

Sorry if I'm being dense, but I'm a newbie ... in case you haven't noticed. I added this line to my html

<script src="sc/DataSourceLoader?dataSource=MyDataSource"></script>

... and copied the MyDataSource.ds.xml to [webroot]/shared/ds but I'm getting an error "WARNING: No file found for: /sc/DataSourceLoader" when running the app.

Have you figured this out yet? Looks like a relative path issue (just match the samples) or possibly you're using a web.xml different from the one that comes with the starter projects and you don't have the DataSourceLoader servlet.

Yes. I've got it working now. Just typical newbie confusion. Thanks for the help.
