Hi Kirill, It was my understanding that GWT used rpc as its protocol. Additionally, as im constrained to JS libraries, I dont have access to any of the Document / XML modelling and parsing libraries that I use in core Java, so thought that XML based HTTP communication was not an option.
How can a GWT front-end, make standard requests and parse responses of plain http based XML? Can it also handle file uploads to servlets? Apologies... perhaps i've got a huge gap in my understanding. I went through "GWT In Action" book, and didnt see anything that suited my project.
