>> Hi all
>>
>> Just to let you know that I've been able to tie Jetty to JSword to GWT quite
>> easily. Here's how it works.
>>
>>
>> 0 - Compile your GWT application. I've used the default Google GWT
>> application that comes with the Eclipse plugin and hacked it around to make
>> a call to the JSword API
>> ---------------------------------------------------
>>
>> 1 - The user starts the application
>> 2 - If the ESV (parameterizable) is not installed, it is downloaded from the
>> internet from Crosswire. This step I'm sure we could try and bypass by
>> distributing the bibles from Crosswire? Is that right Troy? as in distribute
>> them as part of the installation disk (or at least one or two)
>> 3 - The Jetty web server is started up (in process - invisible to the user)
>> 4 - The Jetty web server is told to point at the compiled GWT application
>> 5 - The user makes a request to http://localhost:8080 (in my case 8080
>> because that's what I've told Jetty to listen on).
>> 6 - The Jetty server serves the first page (platform-targetted javascript
>> and html) which prompts the user for his name
>> 7 - When entered, a response is sent to the Jetty server and the GWT server
>> side code kicks in. It used to send the name the user entered on the screen.
>> Now however, it connects to JSword and sends Genesis 1:1 back to the user.
>>
>> In order to do this, I just re-used the example I had before, and then tied
>> it in to an API Example from JSword that I found from the internet (slightly
>> modified). There's hardly any code - probably about 100 lines or so...
>>
>> Would you like me to tie it in to a database? JavaDB or HSQL for example?
>> I'm happy to go forward with that... With Java 1.6, it would be trivial to
>> start the browser automatically as well. With Java 1.5 we could code things
>> to determine what the OS is, look for the default browser (for eg. safari on
>> Macs, internet explorer on windows, etc.) and then open the default command
>> lines... Alternatively, the shortcut we provide to the user, could first
>> launch the application, and then launch the app, and we'd distribute several
>> shortcuts for the user to press...
>>
>> Let me know what you think guys.
>> Chris
