GWT Tutorial stockwatcher.nocache.js filename

Question

Where is the name of the javascript "stockwatcher.nocache.js" file name defined? For example, how could I change this to "stockwatcher1.nocache.js"?

Thanks.

You should not be changing it. What is your final intention? — appbootup, Mar 31 '13 at 15:11

The name of the compiled folder (stockwatcher/) and the compiled js file (stockwatcher.nocache.js) is based on either the package and name of the module file (so com/acme/project/Project.gwt.xml would create com.acme.project.Project.cache.js inside a com.acme.project.Project/ directory), or based on the rename-to attribute of the <module> tag in that module file. For example, if this is your module file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module rename-to='stockwatcher'>
  <!-- Inherit the core Web Toolkit stuff.                        -->
  <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/>
...

Then the output files will be in the stockwatcher/ directory, and the main script will be stockwatcher.nocache.js. If you change this to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module rename-to='stockwatcher1'>
  <!-- Inherit the core Web Toolkit stuff.                        -->
  <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/>
...

and either recompile or start dev mode, you'll now have a stockwatcher1/ directory, and a stockwatcher1.nocache.js file in it.

Any way to have the directory name and the filename prefix be different? — Brian White, Mar 22 '14 at 03:12
