    <p>We used SmartGWT in our last project (duration: 6 months). The following is my personal opinion:</p> <p>The widgets are really great! The documentation and API is verbose. We would use client-side again.</p> <p>The server-side integration works, but did not save any development time. Instead we had a lot of problems where we had to find workarounds. Also, because of the new API, no other developer can maintain the project within investing a lot of time to learn the SmartGWT API.</p> <p>Some Cons:</p> <ul> <li><p>You have to learn a totally new API instead of using Hibernate and GWT-RPC or REST.</p></li> <li><p>The data integration is done automatically, that is true. But if you need some (also little) changes, you have to write XML mapping files as with Hibernate or JDO. So the benefit is gone.</p></li> <li><p>The forum support is bad: You get an answer to almost every posted question. But that answer often does not help. They ask you things such as “why do you want to do that”. Or they say: “use our tool and do XYZ with it” three times, although again and again I told them this suggestion does not work. After a few answers to a question the final answer is: “you need training, buy our support”.</p></li> <li><p>The commercial support is way to expensive (costs approximately as much as the SmartGWT license).</p></li> </ul> <p>We will probably not use the server-side integration of SmartGWT again.</p> <p>You can read all my "lessons learned" with Pros and Cons at my blog:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2010/12/11/lessons-learned-smartgwt-2-3-component-library-for-google-web-toolkit-gwt/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2010/12/11/lessons-learned-smartgwt-2-3-component-library-for-google-web-toolkit-gwt/</a></p> <p>Best regards, Kai Wähner</p>

    1. CO+1 to the forum support part. Forum support is really bad. Thank you for the Blog post - I learned something from it :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
