GWT app stored and served from CouchDB?
I'm looking at GWT as a way to ease my way from Java-land into
JavaScript-land.
I really like the deployment model of CouchDB - no multiple tiers, no web
server to set up and configure, no hosting site to link up with (besides
cloudant).
So, I am thinking I could push a GWT app (a bunch of HTML, JavaScript and
images) into CouchDB as attachments, and serve the app straight up from
CouchDB.
Before I blithely go down this path, I'd like to ask those of you more
experienced in this world if there are any fundamental issues with doing
this (practical or philosophical).
Thanks in advance,
David

GWT does not need a servlet container for talking to json, does it? This
article seems to hold out some hope:

I have used GWT in the past and I would really love to see that combo
solution as well. But the GWT server side is Java. Won't that need like a
servlet container?

I've never used GWT but this sounds great in theory. Let us know how
it works out.

Well, that's very interesting. I looked at GWT and it looked like it
required server-side Java. I'll look at your example, thanks!

creating single (or 2) -tear applications is in my view the main point of couchdb. last year i did a prototype combining gwt and couchdb.
(just a hack to proove the combination of gwt, json an couchdb)
source is available at http://github.com/tbaum/gwt-couchdb
it's a maven-project so type 'mvn install' and './push.sh' to get started..
i used gwt-mosaic, don't worry about the gwt-compiler warnings (and i don't really recommend using moasic anymore!)
to help development and get rid of the same-origin-policy, i created a small proxy-servlet. so you can debug your app in your ide
when compiled an uploaded it will run just in couchdb and your browser
http://127.0.0.1:5984/gwt/_design/couch/index.html
hope that helps,
thomas
