This technique is very flexible but slower than static string internationalization. Host page contains the localized strings therefore, applications are not required to be recompiled when we add a new locale. If GWT application is to be integrated with an existing server-side localization system, then this technique is to be used.

This technique is most prevalent and requires very little overhead at runtime; is a very efficient technique for translating both constant and parameterized strings;simplest to implement. Static string internationalization uses standard Java properties files to store translated strings and parameterized messages, and strongly-typed Java interfaces are created to retrieve their values.

A java data object should implement isSerializable interface so that it can be transferred over the wire in GWT RPC.

Following are the three components used in GWT RPC communication mechanism:
* A remote service server − sideservlet that runs on the server.
* Client code to invoke that service.
* Java data objects which will be passed between client and server.
* GWT client and server both serialize and deserialize data automatically so developers are not required to serialize/deserialize objects and data objects can travel over HTTP.

* RPC, Remote Procedure Call is the mechansim used by GWT in which client code can directly executes the server side methods.
* GWT RPC is servlet based.
* GWT RPC is asynchronous and client is never blocked during communication.
* Using GWT RPC Java objects can be sent directly between the client and the server whichareautomaticallyserializedbytheGWTframework.
* Server-side servlet is termed as service.
* Remote procedure call that is calling methods of server side servlets from client side code is referred to as invoking a service.

Google Web Toolkit offers a variety of ways for creating the custom widgets. The easiest way is to develop composite widgets by grouping existing basic widgets and adding some interaction logic to them.
To create a Custom Widget, it has three general concepts which are as follows:
1. Building Composite Widgets.
2. Create the Java Code for the new widget.
3. Wrap JavaScript using JSNI methods.

A token is simply a string that the application can parse to return to a particular state. This token will be saved in browser history as a URL fragment (in the location bar, after the "#"), and this fragment is passed back to the application when the user goes back or forward in history or follows a link.

GWT applications are described as modules. A module â€modulename†is described by a configuration file â€modulename.gwt.xmlâ€. Each module can define one or more Entry point classes.
An entry point is the starting point for a GWT application, similar to the main method in a standard Java program. A Java class which is an entry point must implement the interface â€com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint†which defines the method onModuleLoad().
The module is connected to a HTML page, which is called â€host pageâ€. The code for a GWT web application executes within this HTML document.
The HTML page can define â€div†containers to which the GWT application can assign UI components or the GWT UI components are simply assigned to the body tag of the HTML page.

There are multiple approaches for associating CSS files with your module. Modern GWT applications typically use a combination of CssResource and UiBinder.
* Using a tag in the host HTML page.
* Using the <stylesheet> element in the module XML file.
* Using a CssResource contained within a ClientBundle.
* Using an inline <ui:style> element in a UiBinder template.

By default, the primary style name of a widget will be the default style name for its widget class. For example, gwt-Button for Button widgets. When we add and remove style names using AddStyleName method, those styles are called secondary styles.
The final appearance of a widget is determined by the sum of all the secondary styles added to it, plus its primary style. You set the primary style of a widget with the setStylePrimaryNameString method.

GWT’s network operations are all asynchronous, or non-blocking. That is, they return immediately as soon as called, and require the user to use a callback method to handle the results when they are eventually returned from the server. Though in some cases asynchronous operators are less convenient to use than synchronous operators, GWT does not provide synchronous operators.
The reason is that most browsers’ JavaScript engines are single-threaded. As a result, blocking on a call to XMLHTTPRequest also blocks the UI thread, making the browser appear to freeze for the duration of the connection to the server. Some browsers provide a way around this, but there is no universal solution. GWT does not implement a synchronous network connection because to do so would be to introduce a feature that does not work on all browsers, violating GWT’s commitment to no-compromise, cross-browser AJAX. It would also introduce complexity for developers, who would have to maintain two different versions of their communications code in order to handle all browsers.

No! By default, neither the browser nor GWT creates default id attributes for widgets.

By default, the class name for each component is gwt-<classname>. For example, the Button widget has a default style of gwt-Button and similar way TextBox widgest has a default style of gwt- TextBox.

Like all AJAX tools, GWT’s HTTP client and RPC libraries are restricted to only accessing data from the same site where the application was loaded, due to the browser Same Origin Policy. If the application is using JSON, there is a work around to this limitation using a <script> tag (aka JSON-P).
First, we need an external JSON service which can invoke user defined callback functions with the JSON data as argument. An example of such a service is GData’s “alt=json-in-script& callback=myCallback†support. Then, we can use JsonpRequestBuilder to make our call, in a way similar to a RequestBuilder when we’re not making a cross-site request.

* The class UIObject is the superclass for all user-interface objects. It simply wraps a DOM element, and cannot receive events. It provides direct child classes like Widget, MenuItem, MenuItemSeparator, TreeItem.
* All UIObject objects can be styled using CSS.
* Every UIObject has a primary style name that identifies the key CSS style rule that should always be applied to it.
* More complex styling behavior can be achieved by manipulating an object's secondary style names.
