GWT ExternalTextResource with large files

Question

I am trying to get async a large html file with ExternalTextResource:

public interface MyHtmlResources extends ClientBundle { public static final MyHtmlResources INSTANCE = GWT.create(MyHtmlResources.class); @Source("some.html") public ExternalTextResource getSomeHtml(); } MyHtmlResources.INSTANCE.getSomeHtml().getText(new ResourceCallback<TextResource>() { public void onError(ResourceException e) { Window.alert(e.toString()); } public void onSuccess(TextResource r) { html.setHTML(r.getText()); } }); 

In Firefox, the onError method always starts with the message: eval() returned null , and in Chrome I get Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded .

Do you know if there is a way to work with large files? Am I limited by the maximum call stack size for each browser?

Thanks.

My "solution" used RequestBuilder, as mentioned in the problem that italo post.

GWT seems to parse the contents of the file, and it does not work in some browsers when the file is large. Take a look at this issue: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=6248
