Another GWT Tutorial
Update: I've posted 36 GWT Tutorials, a more up-to-date list of GWT tutorials.
I know I promised this would be ZK week, but my code reading is going a little slower than I expected. So let me work in some more news about GWT. I know, I know, you're sick of GWT (or maybe you're not). But there's a nice new tutorial over at java.net. It's called Kickstarting Google Web Toolkit on the Client Side and it provides, in increasing order of sophistication, three example GWT applications: a simple "Hello World!" app; an amusing Zork type adventure game ("unlock door", "go north", "read plaque", etc.); a cool little animation made up of a few simple yet effective pieces.
This is probably the best GWT tutorial I've see to date as it actually tries to do something beyond flinging around some labels and text fields. Of course, the tech publishers are probably hard at work on a book that builds a non-trivial application with persistence and rich features. This will have to tide you over until then.

I need dynamic list box functionality. ie. when i select a entry in the first list box, depending on the choice… the data in the other list box has to be populated.
I am using Eclipse Tomcat and GWT. It would be of great help if you can give me provide me a link which will be useful for my purpose.
thanks
