I don't think you understand how GWT works. There's client code & server code. All the client code gets compiled to javascript - you can't use it as pure Java because somewhere there will be a call to a native function that is implemented in javascript (you'll get some compile error if you try to use a regualr java compiler because it'll be expecting JNI).
The client code (once compiled) can communicate with the server through a variety of methods (although RPC is the easiest way). So if you actually want to do JSON parsing on the server, then you need to get an actual JSON parser or write your own (it's not difficult). However, the question is why are you doing JSON parsing on the server instead of delegating that to the client's browser? Besides, any parsing by GWT won't actually interpret the data for you. However, you can write your own overlay types<http://www.infoq.com/news/2008/08/gwt_overlay_types>(as of 1.5) to make it easier to convert the parsed result into friendly classes. Above all, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=json+gwt. There's plenty of people who have thought about how to access JSON services using GWT. I think you first need to clarify what your trying to do to yourself & understand the difference between what runs on the client, what runs on the server, & what the difference between the two is in terms of security policies, functionality, etc. On Sat, Mar 7, 2009 at 6:56 PM, Brett S <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Shawn, > > Thanks for your reply. > > > Can you just use the api as straight java on the server side? > > I am hoping that I can use the API as pure Java.
