Run a GWT page without backing server?

Question

As GWT translates java-code to JavaScript: is it afterwards possible to run a page without a backingserver? Like just production the html,css,js folder and just running it in a browser without a server?

Especially when using GWT with Canvas?

Answer 1

Absolutely, yes. If you don't have a need for a server then, well, you don't need a server.

Note: you'll have to use the xsiframe linker if you intend to serve the files from disk rather than HTTP. In most browsers the std linker (the default linker) won't work with file:// URLs.
