Chapter 5. Modules

The script also generated a basic module file: GwtAjax.gwt.xml. This is a required configuration file for your application. The module XML file specifies any entry-point class for your application, other modules from which your application inherits, and additional settings that you may use less often. The code sample shows the basic module that applicationCreator generates. Later, this shortcut shows the changes we make to this file to inherit additional modules and implement internationalization (i18n).

<module>
  <!-- Inherit the core Web Toolkit stuff.                  -->
     <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/>

  <!-- Specify the app entry point class.                   -->
     <entry-point class='com.parkerriver.gwt.intro.client.GwtAjax'/>
</module>
