Errai generated JavaScript size issue

[eladhr83]

First of all I would like to say how much I was surprised  to find out about this project.
currently we are in the stage of creating our GWT infrastructures (MVP , UI , Server comm...)  for a GWT CRM based solution.
As part of investigating a solution for REST & GWT integration we found out about Errai.
Its seems amazing but as part of our first integration task we decided to focus on one element – the DI.
So we changed 3 different simple project from Gin to Errai DI (the ErraiBus is mandatory part of the Errai solution and we just added the DI and CDI Errai modules ).
The effect on the generated JS sizes were about 3 times more than the Gin based solution.
In large scale application specially  for mobile oriented solution this could be a show stopper.

Are we doing anything wrong ?

What version of GWT and Errai are you using? Also, would you be able to share your SOYC report with us?

good morning mike.

GWT 2.5.0 ,, Errai - 2.2.0.Final

Ok - i geneated the SOYC report and even in the bits and bytes you see the diff .

the orignal GWT Project with (GWT MVP + Gin) size is - 500 KB

after integration with Errai - about 1500 KB.

after investigating the SOYC Report , lets take just one example ( java.util).

java.util->java.util.AbstractHashMap->java.util.AbstractHashMap::$$init() - 23 bytes

java.util->java.util.AbstractHashMap->java.util.AbstractHashMap::$$init()  - 71 bytes

its seems like the most of the size diff is in same classes only 

java.util.AbstractHashMap::$$init
java.util.AbstractHashMap::AbstractHashMap
java.util.HashMap::HashMap
java.util.logging.LogManager::LogManager
java.util.logging.LogManager::getLogManager
com.google.gwt.logging.impl.LoggerImplRegular::getLoggerHelper
java.util.logging.Logger::getLogger
com.google.gwt.logging.client.LogConfiguration$LogConfigurationImplRegular::configureClientSideLogging
com.google.gwt.logging.client.LogConfiguration::$onModuleLoad

Hi Elad,

In Errai 3.0, errai-ioc and errai-bus have been decoupled which will definitely make the JS smaller if you don't use both modules. Also, errai-jaxrs no longer depends on errai-ioc or errai-bus.

So, if you're willing to use 3.0-SNAPSHOT you should definitely see an improvement.

Cheers,

Christian
