Hello Kirill, That's *exactly* what I want to aim for, that would be ideal. Hence my original post. But given that my communication between my java swing client and my servlets was xml based e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <MFRequest> <Request type='Login' data=''/> <Login username='sam' password='test'/> </MFRequest> <MFResponse> <Response type='Login'> <Login name='Sam' session='CF66F005071BD0BC4F0B4D089A4F191A'/> </Response> </MFResponse> now looks like (from the front-end) server.loginUser(userName, password, repo); then all the xml modelling is no longer applicable, and org.w3c.dom.* libraries used in the swing client to parse the XML arent available in gwt. on my server I use Document Builder and sax libraries. As mentioned in my previous post, I had a front-controller pattern e.g. ControllerServlet > LoginServlet > UploadServlet > UpdateServlet .... etc which Im finding hard to model in gwt's rpc world. If i could just use a new gwt client with my old xml / servlet based server - then great! id be very happy indeed. I should also mention that my application uses multi-part file uploads too.
