GWT CellTable and Editors GUI

In order not to duplicate the code, I decided some time ago to reorganize my views on the use of the editors framework. Currently, each view is an editor that contains many other editors. For example, the "Personnel Information" view contains editors such as "face address", "person image", "face description", etc. Each of these editors contains a set of standard GWT widgets, as well as the logic needed to create and display these widgets.

Now, I would like to reuse some of these components in the list of faces view. So, I would like to have a table with rows representing people - one row - one person. Each line should contain, for example: person’s name, surname, image (editor), short description (editor).

Can this be done with the GWT CellTable? When I looked at the official and unofficial documentation, it is easy to notice that it is mainly intended for working with HTML code, and not with widgets.

Thank you in advance

You cannot use the Editor (or any widget) inside CellTable .

Some options for reusing views when using CellTable :

  • use SafeHtmlTemplates
  • create PersonAddressCell, PersonImageCell, etc.
  • create a reusable PersonalDetailsTable file by extending CellTable
