I am thinking of using Errai for a new project. I like all the levels of abstraction that it uses and the concise and declarative code that can be written.
My main concerns are the taxes I need to pay to implement this framework, related to js code size and performance.
Some specific questions are:
- For an equivalent app in GWT using RPC or RF, what was the difference in performance and js code size that people have experienced.
- I implemented the Errai.Tutorial 3.1.1 and ran ‘clean package wildfly:deploy’. This gets me 18 permutations of about 1.01 MB each. This seems to be minified and obfuscated already. Is this the expected size?
1MB of Javascript seems to be a lot for a bare bone app with only a couple of classes and limited functionality.
I do see the following in the text, which makes me think that the code is needlessly bloated:
[INFO] WARN [EnvUtil] reachability analysis disabled. errai may generate unnecessary code.
[INFO] WARN [EnvUtil] enable reachability analysis with -Derrai.compile.perf.perform_reachability_analysis=true
But when I make the change to the POM in the 'exraJvmArgs' tag, I get the following error:
cannot resolve injectable bean for type: org.jboss.errai.jpa.client.local.ErraiEntityManager;
Thanks, Steve
