Any good articles related to deploying GWT applications to production?
The requirements would be any J2EE server that complies is Servlet 2.5 standard You don't have to install Apache, tomcat have his own web server. GWT would build for you a WAR file you should copy that file to the tomcat webapps and restart tomcat, it would deploy it automaticly. The war file will contain all the needed file To build the war file you have to use ant, an article here how to do I think the ant build would create the war file, anyway zipping the war directory and changing the extension to '.
War' is the same (WAR file are only zip files).

My GWT app leverages RPC. I've re-edited my initial question to reflect this. Thanks for the references.

GWT is primarily a client side technology. You need to decide what stack you will be developing your back end in. It could be an ASP.NET backend, it could be a simple static deployment of apache, or a full J2EE stack.
It depends on what your app will be doing. When all is said and done, a GWT app is just some html and a bunch of javascript. You can serve that part from any web server.
The real question is what backend will that GWT client be talking to. What confuses the issue is that many GWT apps happen to use GWT-RPC, which means they will be written in java and thus require a java backend. But you could just as well write a GWT app that is standalone (ie no server side processing needed) or communicates with a .
Net app using some kind of web service interface.
You may try InstallAce (installace. Com) for deployment if your application is running on Windows paltform.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
