1. Re: Removing GWT 1.3 support in Seam 2.0+?
gavin.king Nov 8, 2007 1:44 AM (in response to robjellinghaus)Why 1.5? Can we just target 1.4?

2. Re: Removing GWT 1.3 support in Seam 2.0+?
robjellinghaus Nov 8, 2007 2:33 AM (in response to robjellinghaus)1.5 supports Java 1.5 syntax, which will make it a lot easier to send Seam components over GWT RPC, which has all kinds of interesting uses. (Mainly, being able to avoid a whole crappy DTO layer just because you want to send some simple little @Entities over the wire.)
I'd like to see a GWT14Service and a GWT15Service in whatever Seam version ships after GWT 1.5. But that's neither here nor there; the main point is GWT 1.3 should be dropped after Seam 2.0.0, and doing so will clean things up a lot.
(I know you guys like to stay one version behind, but c'mon ;-)
Cheers!

3. Re: Removing GWT 1.3 support in Seam 2.0+?
shane.bryzak Nov 8, 2007 2:34 AM (in response to robjellinghaus)I would love to drop GWT 1.3 support, as it would mean I can get rid of a bunch of nasty reflection code that is necessary to support it. However I think it's a little too soon to get rid of it yet as some of our users may still be using GWT 1.3 (for whatever reasons).
Perhaps we should aim at supporting just the latest production version, and deprecating support for the previous version. This way we can deprecate 1.3 support immediately, and remove it when 1.5 is released (which if we're lucky will be backwards compatible with 1.4). -
4. Re: Removing GWT 1.3 support in Seam 2.0+?
shane.bryzak Nov 8, 2007 3:07 AM (in response to robjellinghaus)Actually, after checking the code it seems I already deprecated GWT 1.3 support.

5. Re: Removing GWT 1.3 support in Seam 2.0+?
gavin.king Nov 8, 2007 3:27 AM (in response to robjellinghaus)I don't think we need to continue to support GWT 1.3, given the hacks that were involved in doing that. I don't think that there are a huge number of people using the GWT support yet.

6. Re: Removing GWT 1.3 support in Seam 2.0+?
robjellinghaus Nov 8, 2007 4:22 AM (in response to robjellinghaus)So Shane, do you want to do the cleaned-up GWTService that drops 1.3 support, or shall I take a shot at it? Might as well do it in CVS...? Or maybe in a separate package or something, just so it's there for when the trigger gets pulled.
