如何从gwt中的一个浏览器窗口获取数据到另一窗口？

Question

First of all i would like to say that i have gone through all the posts which are similar to my query but i have some different requirement.

In our project we are using gwt to develop the modules, in one of our module, we have "Edit" button which opens a new browser window which includes 'CKEditor'. We are modifying the data in ckeditor comes(by url) from gwt widget .

The Window opens by using following code snippet(JSNI) in my gwt widget:

private static native BodyElement getBodyElement(String url) /*-{    
         var win = window.open("url", "win",      "width=940,height=400,status=1,resizeable=1,scrollbars=1"); // a window object    
         return win.document.body;       
   }-*/; 

The newly opened window have the html form which is with ckeditor .

So here i am closing new window once my form has been submitted but i want the edited text to be displayed in old window. How can i achieve this requirement?

Answer 1

If you can use HTML5, it should be quite easy. Use Messaging.

Take a look here:

Cross-document messaging

With the reference of the newly opened window, yu can establish a communication between both windows.
