GWT Hosted mode on 64bit linux

GWT for linux is build against 32bit architecture. It contains some SWT/GTK 32bit modules. So if you try to run it with 64bit java it failsException in thread “main” java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/tools/sdk/gwt/gwt-linux-1.5.3/libswt-pi-gtk-3235….

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR

You have two choices. Find 64bit SWT/GTK modules with same build version (3235 in this case) – good luck! or download 32bit JRE.

I chose second option and it took me 3 mins to resolve the problem.
Find proper JRE version on Oracle site I suggest bin file instead rpm. It unpacks jre to own dir. Move that directory to some convenient location (it doesn’t matter where). Edit gwt.properties *and set java.executable* to java exec located in 32bit JRE.
Now run your GWT hosted mode and be unstoppable developer!

You may have some warnings from GTK, such as

/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies/libappmenu.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(GWT:351): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0
/menuproxies/libappmenu.so
**

But it has no consequences for me, so far…

Some sources say that you should set an environment var:

export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1

to block bugs in X display layer but I don’t know what does it mean :)

In this case I had to hadle with GWT version 1.5.3 (old corporate project)

New HTTP Logger Grails plugin

I've wrote a new Grails plugin - httplogger. It logs:

  • request information (url, headers, cookies, method, body),
  • grails dispatch information (controller, action, parameters),
  • response information (elapsed time and body).

It is mostly useful for logging your REST traffic. Full HTTP web pages can be huge to log and generally waste your space. I suggest to map all of your REST controllers with the same path in UrlMappings, e.g. /rest/ and configure this plugin with this path.

Here is some simple output just to give you a taste of it.

17:16:00,331 INFO  filters.LogRawRequestInfoFilter  - 17:16:00,340 INFO  filters.LogRawRequestInfoFilter  - 17:16:00,342 INFO  filters.LogGrailsUrlsInfoFilter  - 17:16:00,731 INFO  filters.LogOutputResponseFilter  - >> #1 returned 200, took 405 ms.

17:18:55,802 INFO  filters.LogOutputResponseFilter  - >> #2 responded with ''

Official plugin information can be found on Grails plugins website here: http://grails.org/plugins/httplogger or you can browse code on github: TouK/grails-httplogger.
