Java Module Dependencies

The following is a description of what functionality is contained in each Smart GWT JAR file, and which other Smart GWT JARs and third party libraries are required to enable that functionality. Note that actual filenames in WEB-INF/lib will typically contain the version number of the library, whereas the library names below simply list the base name.

Note that all of the libraries that Smart GWT depends upon have either an Apache 1.0 or Apache 2.0 license, with the exception of Hibernate, which has an LGPL license but is never required by Smart GWT; it is only required if you wish to use Hibernate.

If you are using GWT, GWT itself also has an Apache 2.0 license, however tools and test environments that you may use during development have different license (such as Eclipse - Eclipse Public License). Also, specific GWT widgets, not required by Smart GWT, have licenses different from core GWT (such as JFreeChart's LGPL license). See Google's summary of terms for details.

• isomorphic_core_rpc: This is the core Smart GWT module. It provides the RPC, DMI, and DataSource support.
  Requires:
  commons-cli
  commons-lang
  commons-collections
  commons-pool
  commons-codec
  isc-jakarta-oro
  log4j
  commons-jxpath
  commons-httpclient
  velocity
  Optionally Requires:
  xercesImpl - if you're using JDK < 1.5
  xml-apis - if you're using JDK < 1.5
  commons-fileupload - if you plan to use the upload form item with Smart GWT processing.
  mail - if you plan to use the Mail messaging feature
  activation - if you plan to use the Mail messaging feature and you are using a JDK < 1.6
  
  poi - if you plan to export datasets in Microsoft Excel 97 (xls) or 2007 (xlsx) formats. Additionally, if you plan to export data in Excel 2007 (xlsx) format, you will need the following libraries:
  poi-ooxml, poi-ooxml-schemas, xbean, jsr173_1.0_api
• isomorphic_web_services: Web services examples only. Contains code backing the Smart GWTOperations.wsdl example. Do not deploy in production.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  axis
  axis-schema
  commons-discovery
  commons-logging
  jaxrpc
  saaj
  wsdl4j
  
• isomorphic_tools: Contains back-end logic for the "Admin Console" tool visible in the Developer Console, and also standalone from the SDK home page. Also contains the the various data importers and exporters, and the server-side components of the BatchUploader.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  isomorphic_sql
  
• isomorphic_embedded_tomcat: This contains the bootstrap class for the Embedded Tomcat engine shipped with the Smart GWT SDK. It is not intended to be used in any way other than via the start_embedded_tomcat.bat|sh|command scripts in the webRoot of the SDK.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  All JARs under WEB-INF/embeddedTomcat/lib
  
• isomorphic_spring: Required for DMI dispatches to Spring beans (via lookupStyle : "spring").
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  spring
  commons-logging
  
• isomorphic_examples: Contains code for various Smart GWT examples shown in the SDK. Do not deploy to production. The source code for the compiled classes in this module are present in the SDK in various locations and typically linked to directly from the examples that use them.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  isomorphic_sql
  isomorphic_struts
  isomorphic_spring
  isomorphic_hibernate
  commons-logging
  jstl
  jakarta-taglib-standard
  
• isomorphic_realtime_messaging: Server support required for the Smart GWT Realtime Messaging Module. Install this if you're using this 'push' technology. For more information, see: ${isc.DocUtils.linkForDocNode('Messaging QuickRef')}:
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  
• isomorphic_hibernate: Contains support for Hibernate DataSources as described here: HibernateIntegration.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  isomorphic_sql
  hibernate3
  commons-logging
  dom4j
  jdbc2_0-stdext
  asm
  asm-attrs
  jta
  cglib
  antlr
  Optionally Requires:
  hsqldb - not required for linking, but needed for Hibernate to actually connect to databases of this type, and hsqldb is what's used in the SDK examples. Note that for production use you will need a JDBC driver for your database type.
  
• isomorphic_sql: The Smart GWT SQLDataSource.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  commons-dbcp
  hsqldb
  
• isomorphic_js_parser: A parser capable of reading a JSON byte stream and creating an in-memory Java object structure to match. Used by any mechanism that relies on JSON-style configuration. Examples include FileAssembly definitions in JSON format, any use of the rulesFile with a URIRegexFilter (Java Servlet) or subclass. Generally not required.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  
• isomorphic_compression: This is a part of the Network Performance Module. The isomorphic_compression module is required for dynamic and static compression of various assets delivered to the browser. For more information, see: Compression.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  
• isomorphic_assembly: This is part of the Network Performance Module. The isomorphic_assembly module is required for file assembly and stripping. For more information, see: FileAssembly.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  Optionally Requires:
  isomorphic_obfuscation - for code obfuscation
  
• isomorphic_obfuscation: This is part of the Network Performance Module. The isomorphic_obfuscation module is required to enable obfuscation of code assembled by the File Assembly system. For more information, see: Compression.
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  
• isomorphic_struts: Contains the ValidationAction and ValidationFailureAction classes that implement RPC-based validation of DynamicForms using the Struts ValidatorPlugIn. If you're not using Struts or if you don't need this particular feature of Smart GWT, you do not need this module or its dependencies (also see the important note below). An example of this style of validation is available here: /examples/struts/forms/welcome.do - read the info on this page, and follow the "Dynamic Form (With RPC-based Validation)" Link for the actual example.
  
  NOTE: This support is for Struts 1.0 only, and is only intended to be used in certain edge cases of incremental migration to Smart GWT. You should only use it if directed to do so by Isomorphic Support.
  
  Requires:
  isomorphic_core_rpc
  struts
  commons-digester
  commons-beanutils
  commons-fileupload
  commons-logging
  commons-validator
  jakarta-oro
