'GinjectorGenerator' threw an exception while rebinding '…ClientGinjector'

Question

I'm getting this error when running my web application that use GWT, GWT-Platform and App engine:

Generator 'com.google.gwt.inject.rebind.GinjectorGenerator' threw an exception while rebinding 'com.myapp.client.gin.ClientGinjector'

My application have these jars in the WEB-INF/lib folder:

guice-3.0.jar  
gin-1.5-post-gwt-2.2.jar
guice-servlet-3.0.jar
gwtp-all-0.7.jar

Here's the detailed error log of Development Mode:

[DEBUG] [app] - Validating newly compiled units [DEBUG] [app] - Rebinding com.myapp.client.gin.ClientGinjector [DEBUG] [app] - Invoking generator com.google.gwt.inject.rebind.GinjectorGenerator

[ERROR] [app] - Unable to load module entry point class com.myapp.client.MainAppEntryPoint (see associated exception for details)

I've been trying to figure out what could have been missing in my application but I still can't find the fix? What is causing this kind of error?

Answer 1

Often times this is due to adding non gwt supported types or imports such as java.net.* etc in your client folders of a gwt project. Only java types that are supported in the gwt white list are supported and can be searialized. the rebinding errors mask those errors. So comb through your project and see if you have those types and imports included in either client or shared folders
