Comment by david.nouls:
I have the same question as mr autobeanvonautobahn. The current GWT RPC
mechanism is a nightmare for interoperability and also difficult to stress
test with tools like JMeter. We want the ability to reuse the RPC calls
through a JSON API, with not too much handcoding.
In our product we do not care too much about the potential size difference
between RPC and JSON. Performance is still important, but RPC was never
very performant (stackoverflow, slow javascript warnings).
So I am thinking about writing a generator that combines the Autobean API
with Sync/Async interfaces as used by RPC) ... although I have the
impression that comes very close to the RequestFactory ... but the docs
state give me the impression that it is not designed for general rpc method
calling, but more for handling JPA,Hibernate stuff.
