Release 0.1.0 - Aug 15, 2007

This is the first release of GWTiger Application framework for GWT.
This release includes the following features:-

Widgets and Panels

GWT is a great tool with a lot of flexibility. WHen you are building a data entry screen or a form, you will have to write a lot of code to have widgets inside a horizontal panel which itself goes into a vertical panel which is embedded in some other panel. GWTiger will reduce that complexity by giving you a class that has built in label, field (text, password, list etc.) and a place for error message. All combined together in one easy package. All you have to do is:- TextFieldWidget txtUserId = new TextFieldWidget("User Id");

Field Validation

Very easily add field validation to your application. Making a field required is as simple as calling txtUserId.setRequired(true);

Mask Controls

GWTiger has widgets to provide Mask controls. E.g if you would like someone to enter their phone number in the format (122) 122-1222 all you have to do is to setup a mask control as MaskTextFieldWidget txtPhone = new MaskTextFieldWidget("Phone","(###) ###-####");

Lazy loading

Each screen may take 2-3 seconds to load. If you build a large application, it may take several seconds/a minute for the application to load. With GWTiger you can use pre built functions to load your screens only when/if you need them.

Login screen

The demo application comes with a template and entire logic to build a login screen including the server side code.
