Smart GWT Product DETAIL Comparison

Smart GWT Technical Q&A
1

Hi Isomorphic,

I needed an accurate comparison of the sgwt versions for my boss. I have only found this: http://www.smartclient.com/product/index.jsp

I thought the Pro version is sufficient for me because I don’t need:
Batch DataSource Generator
Visual Builder
Portal Framework
Drawing
Visual Builder

Now I have seen that e.g. sqlStorageStrategy, customSQL … missing in the Pro version. I thought that these functions within the area “SQL / HQL templating” and are also in the Pro version are.

Can you send (mail or forum) me this infos and also the price for the Enterprise version.

Thanks,
Timo

But.. the very page you point clearly says the SQL / HQL templating is a Power level feature. What’s confusing?

3

Which group is then “customSQL” and “sqlStorageStrategy”? I think it’s only in the javadoc for the EE version and not power version.

Question: Which version do I need if I want to use the two features and the price, please.

<customSQL> is how you define a SQL template. That and all other APIs that allow you to define a SQL template (<tableClause> etc) are part of the SQL Templating feature and require a Power license. The price is on the page you pointed to - $1950 per developer.

ok, but customSQL its only documented in ee javadoc
com.smartgwt.client.docs.serverds.OperationBinding

and whats about DataSourceField.sqlStorageStrategy ist only documented in ee javadoc, also.

So here is just a documentation issue?

No issue - the docs are the same across Pro/Power/EE except that certain features are labeled Power/Enterprise only.

sorry, the javadocs (inside downloaded zip file!) are not equal.

please compare

2010-08-11
smartgwtpower-2.3/doc/javadoc/com/smartgwt/client/docs/serverds/OperationBinding.html

with
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwtee/javadoc/com/smartgwt/client/docs/serverds/OperationBinding.html

you will find “customSQL” only in smartgwtee javadoc.

So I may just look at the online javadoc of EE Version and not in it from the download zip file.
