Hi Abhijeet. After reading your blog, I programmed my application with GWT-EXT and the MapAbstraction widgets and it worked perfectly well until Google did an update a few days ago (mid-august) to their Map API. I cannot display Google maps anymore in MapPanel .. only text is showing in panel. According to Google recommendations, I changed the way I call the javascript in the HTML entry point but no map is showing up yet (by the way, this is the only modification I made to the code, so the problem seems to be on Google side). Any idea?

Hi Abhijeet, I’m facing difficulties in using MapPanel in a GWT Ext Panel on IE8. This works find in Mozilla and Chrome. But on IE8, the setSize is not working. The code is:

I am creating a widget, the class is inheriting from Panel.

mapPanel = new GoogleMap();
mapPanel.setTitle(“Sites”);
mapPanel.setWidth(800);
mapPanel.setHeight(600);
mapPanel.addLargeControls();
mapPanel.autoCenterAndZoom();

add(mapPanel,new AnchorLayoutData(“100%”));

//Updates etc

Pls let me know what could be the issue

@aj: I didn’t get a chance to run the Netbeans project you linked to. Sorry for that.
@Yulia: Many thanks for sharing your experience!

Sorry, it seems that html isn’t allowed in comments I moved script tags with mapstraction and Google Maps to gwt.xml file and removed type attribute.

Hi aj,

I had the same problem.
I add folowing code in gwt.xml file instead of host HTML file and it helps:

Hi Abhijeet,

Yeah i thought of that “after posting” . The whole web-project builds ok but after running the project the center panel where the map should be displayed is blank. I’m definitely missing something here: Any ideas off the bat where i might have to look?
Edit: Thought it could be a problem with the mapstraction – added the path to WelcomeGWT.html, i.e.,
but to no avail

Hi aj, those are core GWT classes and should be gone if your project references the GWT library correctly. I don’t use Netbeans so I cant say if it has options to directly import Eclipse projects.

Try setting up a skeleton GWT-Ext Netbeans project and then just import the source file from my project and make changes to your host HTML as outlined above.

Hi,

Gr8 work. I’m getting my feet wet with GWT and wanted to try to get your example running under netbeans 6.1 on linux.
I’ve tried to import the GwtExtMaps examples as a new webproject but seem to be getting three errors in MainModule.java.

import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.Window;

I’m using ext2.0.2 for my other projects which seem to works fine but have a feeling this might be due to some library conflicts or the simple fact that this cannot be imported under netbeans?? Some expert insight would be cool

Cheers
