You can develop with the EGL Dojo widgets by using either a local or remote version of the Dojo Toolkit. In either case, you must specify the Dojo Toolkit provider on your EGL build path.
You might use a local version of the toolkit instead of a remote version for many reasons. The next table reviews the advantages and disadvantages of local and remote access.
Local | Remote |
---|---|
Flexibility
|
Performance

Slower at deployment and run time

Dependency on third parties

One scenario is to develop with a remote version of the toolkit and to deploy with a local version. In this way, you have the fastest development experience and can control the version of the Dojo toolkit that is hosted on the application server to which you deploy your application.
