Hi, I've encountered this pattern a few times, and think it would be great if the RPC layer could be given a serializable object that is always transferred on every RPC call.
In the GWT security documentation it says not to use cookies but instead pass the session id manually on every RPC call, which is a real hassle to maintain & results in a lot of boilerplate. Instead it would be nice if the GWT layer could do it automatically for me, and then RemoteServiceServlet would provide it through a call like getSessionData() (templated for convenience) which would de-serialize the object & return it. Additionally, the server side could also set the data manually with setSessionData() & then the user side would never even need to know about it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
