SmartGWT does not resolve resources based on module base URL

[GoogleCodeExporter]

See discussion in http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=3128.

When deploying a SmartGWT application in a different location than the
respective host page, GWT loads SmartGWT relative to the module base URL,
but SmartGWT tries to load resources relative to the context URL.
Example: 
Servlet delivering the host page: /appContext/appController.form
SmartGWT/GWT application resides in : /appContext/gwt-files/...
GWT loads SmartGWT in /appContext/gwt-files/sc/....
SmartGWT tries to locate resources in /appContext/sc/...

AN UGLY WORKAROUND:
I had to add the following to my host html file before the nocache.js script 
tag.
<script>
  var isomorphicDir = "[MODULE_NAME]/sc";
</script>

Where MODULE_NAME is the module you are building.


SEE #139

I took a quick look at the thread on
http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=3664 and looks like my 
workaround is
not so nasty after all.  

Please note that this is NOT A SOLUTION.  This will have to be addressed so 
that GWT
1.6 can be used with smartgwt 1.0.

Add 

<script>
  var isomorphicDir = "[MODULE_NAME]/sc";
</script>

to your host html file.

I'm using SmartGWT-1.2 and have renamed my module to "mymodule" but I had to add

<script>
  var isomorphicDir = "mymodule/sc";
</script>

to my host html file. I thought this was fixed?

cheng, that works in SmartGWT 1.2. Have a look at  the Hello world sample for 
GWT 1.6 that is shipped in the 
SmartGWT distribution and compare your with this to see what you're doing 
incorrectly.

I checked the source at
http://code.google.com/p/smartgwt/source/browse/trunk/samples/helloworld-1.6/war
/HelloWorld.html:

    <title>SmartGWT Hello World</title>

    <!-- IMPORTANT : You must set the variable isomorphicDir to [MODULE_NAME]/sc/ so
that the SmartGWT resource are 
          correctly resolved -->        
        <script> var isomorphicDir = "helloworld/sc/"; </script> 

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="helloworld/helloworld.nocache.js"></script>


So the fix is to define the isomorphicDir? I thought that the fix meant that it 
was
not longer necessary to define such variable

sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, you still need to add the variable.

Cool, many thanks!

Even in SmartClient 2.0 this workaround still seems to be necessary. The script 
to set 
the isomorphicDir MUST come before the GWT no-cache script!

Setting isomorphicDir variable doesn't solve the problem and resource is loaded 
relative to context URL and causes problems! What is workaround?

How come this is a medium priority issue. It's a huge one!

With having a look on the html resources, this works for me:

<script>
  var isomorphicDir = "sc/";
</script>

Iused the totsp archetype and SmartClientGWT 2.4
