Please add support for AJAX API Property

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

In google maps applications it's interesting to have IP geolocalization.
It's now easily done with this new API :
see http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/documentation/#ClientLocation

Today, it's possible to use maxmind database, but on the server. With the
new API, it's possible to have only client side processing  (right?)
see http://blogoscoped.com/files/where.html

Workaround:
For now, if you want to do this, use JSNI methods similar to the following:

public static double getClientLatitde() /*-{
   return (ClientLocation == null ? 0 : Number(ClientLocation.latitude));
}-*/;
public static double getClientLongitude() /*-{
   return (ClientLocation == null ? 0 : Number(ClientLocation.longitude));
}-*/;

Thanks, but I'm definitively missing something since I get this error at 
runtime:

com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (TypeError): 'ClientLocation' is
undefined (or 'google' is undefined when I try google.loader.ClientLocation)

I've included the api in two ways (I'm using r290 jar, I don't know which way to
include is the right, but both seems to have the right structures):

http://www.google.com/uds/api?file=uds.js&v=1.0&key=ABC
and
http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=ABCC

I tried including the gwt Ajax Search jar, with in my module.gwt.xml :
<inherits name="com.google.gwt.ajaxsearch.AjaxSearch" />

I've also tried to include this script :
google.load("search", "1");

Sorry, that should have been $wnd.ClientLocation in every instance.

From what I read, you must load it with the ajaxloader style 
(www.google.com/jsapi)

Also, if you don't have a real key, get rid of the key=ABC part.

thanks for the help, it's better but it's not working as expected.
the result is 0, which should mean that ClientLocation is null.
but when I type google.com/jsapi in my browser, I have the right informations

any ideas ?
btw I use a real key (I also tried without, but it shouldn't matter I work in 
web
hosted mode/localhost)

ok nvm, I had this code working:

public class ClientLocalization {
    public static native double getClientLatitude() /*-{
          return ($wnd.google.loader.ClientLocation == null ? 0 :
Number($wnd.google.loader.ClientLocation.latitude));
    }-*/;

    public static native double getClientLongitude() /*-{
          return ($wnd.google.loader.ClientLocation == null ? 0 :
Number($wnd.google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude));
    }-*/;
}

I had the same issue before and a simple check of the type of the google var 
helps a ton, therefore it doesn't help on the natural behavior of the library. 
As a note, I only have this issue with IE 9. Works perfectly for mobile 
browsers, FF, Chrome and Safari.

:) your google object is not loaded completely and code starts using it. Make 
sure google api js is completely loaded and then use it.
