UiBinder: Provide implementation for DOMImplPatcher.toString(Element)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, thank you in advance for looking into the below issue.
Regards.
Luc

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Instantiate a UiBinder widget within a GwtTest test case.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The test should go through, however a java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: 
com.google.gwt.dom.client.DOMImpl.toString(String) gets thrown.
Indeed this JSNI method is still left unpatched when looking at DOMImplPatcher.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.28 Snapshot rev. 730 / GWT 2.2

Please provide any additional information below.
Here is more of the stack trace:

Could you give it a try with the lastest trunk revision ?

If the exception would still be thrown, could you provide the UiBinder widget 
which throws it ? Its weird that the toString() method is called, I think 
another exception is thrown before (maybe by commons-beanutils).

Thank you in advance.

I still don't figured out why the toString() method is called, but I've tried 
to implement a fidel DOMImpl.toString() patch method.

It's available on trunk, could you please give it a try and give me some 
feedback ?

Thanks :-)

Thank you Gaël.
The issue is gone in v0.3 with GWT 2.3.

Sorry about the late reply.
Best regards.
