The Dojo Toolkit now has support for multi-file uploads, thanks to the new Deft project. Thedojox.form.FileUploader class embeds a hidden SWF file in the page which, when triggered, will open a system dialog that supports multiple file selection, and also file masks, which allows the user to filter their selection by file type.

It could be nice to have a multifile Uploader for GWT.

Good technologies have to rely on strong technologies.  And there are some new releases of software that automatically turn the previous version into a “so old version”. This is exactly what happened to me today when I received first screen shots of FreeAnalysis Web, GWT version (see bellow). 2 months ago, we took some risks, by stopping the heavy and costly development of FreeAnalysisWeb, Dojo version, to start a new development based on GWT.

It is just a announcement, but the feedback on "Dojo vs GWT" is interesting.

Why Dojo? Well, we are targeting the enterprise, where internationalization and security are critical. We believe Dojo is creating the best UI toolkit for enterprise developers.

I'm not sure that Dojo is the best toolkit for enterprise developers ;-)

GWT is a Java-based AJAX framework that lets you write front-end UI components using Java, then use the GWT compiler to convert them into HTML and JavaScript files. GWT's programming model also didn't fit well with our development environment because our team was split between UI developers and back-end Java developers. Also, the generated HTML/JavaScript code would be difficult to change if we had browser issues. Finally, building the application with GWT required us to learn new Java APIs—not good, considering our time and budget constraints.

I have implemented a Dojo datePicker widget in one of my projects using the following technique. You may try extending it to support other Dojo widgets to see if it works.

For the last few weeks I have been trying to integrate back button support into my companies JSF/Ajax app as an "Undo" feature. I have been using 2 approaches, 1) g4jsf (a subproject of Ajax4JSF) to enable use of GWT, and 2) dojo.undo.browser.
