What is the best way to implement that ? 1) only one couple of presenter/view for object1 and this couple manages the display of object2 in each tab 2) one presenter/view object for object1 and one presenter/view for each instance of object2 ? in other words, do I have one couple of presenter/view by object model ?

've started prototyping with Activities and can now give some more feedback on how it compares to my previous own implementation of a PlaceManager and how I used it with MVP.

The way I would do is to define a application event (eg. LocationEvent<LocationHandler>) & handler encapsulating whatever data (ex. co ordinates) that you need to send and fire the event. First presenter fires the event when the mouse is clicked. Second Presenter handles the event and takes appropriate action.

how does the PlaceChange Event gets fired?? As of 2.1M2, PlaceController still isn't bound to History, so only PlaceController#goTo will fire first a PlaceChangeRequestedEvent (which can be rejected) and then (if the first hasn't been rejected by listeners) a PlaceChangeEvent.

My application has several modules, and in each module, it may have different layout. Hence I have multiple level of Activity and in each module, I have an ActivityManager and ActivityMapper to create an appropriate Activity according to the Place or return null if not interested.  All the ActivityManagers are attached to a global Event bus.

he generally adopted way of doing things in GWT is to have custom events go through the event bus. In this case, you're talking about "navigation", so maybe the concept of "place" would be better than "just" some custom event. I encourage you to look at gwt-platform, gwt- presenter and other MVP frameworks for GWT, and/or look at the Activity concept from the upcoming GWT 2.1. Using actvities, you'd have an ActivityManager managing your "center". The tree would use the PlaceController.goTo to navigate to a new "place". An ActivityMapper (that you passed to the ActivityManager in the constructor) would map the place to an Activity (a presenter), and the ActivityManager will manage the current Activity for the display it manages, i.e.it will stop() the current activity if its ok (willStop returns true) and then only start the new Activity, which will call the Display back to show its view. The tree would probably also listen to PlaceChangeEvent on the event bus to update the selected item depending on the current place (in case some other component calls the PlaceController.goTo)

use the history and pass the information as parameters in the history token.

has a number of advantages provided the parameter is serializable (and small enough). For example, it could let the user bookmark the detail page of "Lady_Gaga". A bit trickier when the presenter is a dialog box, but totally doable.

There is no public API for checking the status of tasks.  A task is   really nothing more than a normal http request which is monitored by   GAE to retry it if it fails.  The real brains is in the task queue   which is simply a queue of URL's that app engine will fire off at a   given rate and retry failed requests. The only public method to check tasks (http requests) in this queue is   the console webpage.  Its up to you to monitor your tasks yourself by   storing some kind of status data in memcache or the datastore.
