Adding another button tutorial?

[One]

Hi

I have looked around the internet for tutorials but haven't managed to locate any. I would like to add a button for generating a report on the files in the system. Can someone point me to the source.

I have tried adding
in tab workspace

Code: Select all

public void showReport() {
	tabBar.addTab(Main.i18n("tab.workspace.administration"));
	tabAdministrationPos = tabBar.getTabCount()-1;
	adminitrationVisible = true;
}

in Workspace properties

Code: Select all

Main.get().mainPanel.topPanel.tabWorkspace.showReport();

and

in MainMenu.Java

Code: Select all

reports = new MenuItem(Util.menuHTML("img/icon/menu/about.gif", Main.i18n("general.menu.tools.reports")), true, showReport);
reports.addStyleName("okm-MainMenuItem");
administration.setVisible(false);

subMenuTools.addItem(reports);

Command showReport = new Command() {
	public void execute() {
		Main.get().aboutPopup.show();
	}
};

Ok So the button still does not show up.. I am also not sure if I am compiling correctly so any advise is muchly appreciative. First time working with java on a web app.

You want a contextual menu ? right click from document ? and then do some action, is that ?

Hi thanks for the reply... Ok so I have a button that works. now I need to have it make a report on the files in the system. I have built a servlet class to right the files into a txt file. Maven doesn't seem to like ioexceptions in the frontend of the application so I made a server applet. now maven is giving mea INFO] com.google.gwt.dev.jjs.InternalCompilerException: Failed to get JNode error for just accessing a class outside the front end package of the application.

What are you doing with gwt is quite strange, please do some mockup to take the idea you got in mind. Because what kind of report do you want to doing ... jasper report ? or what ?

See our servlet like DocumentServlet and how when proceed anything with GWT always we trow OKMException and how then is procesed in Main.java with method public void showError(String callback, Throwable caught)
