MVP or activities & places, for GWT 2.2

Question

I've been looking into GWT and MVP recently and to be honest I'm very confused. My project will include around 40 different places or views all together. While reading multiple tutorials, some follow Model-View-Presenter and others use Activities and Places, all under the subject of MVP, GWT.

I'm not sure what to follow for a new MVP, GWT 2.2 project.

Many thanks, Alex

Answer 1

Alex,

Activities and Places are Google's implementation of the MVP framework. There are many well established additional MVP frameworks for GWT which encompass many additional features not yet incorporated into GWT. The two I would recommend are:

GWT Platform: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/

MVP4G: http://code.google.com/p/mvp4g/

They have many additional features to reduce the amount of boilerplate code you have to write to implement solutions. They are worth a peak before choosing Google's A&P.
