Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I'm in a situation where I can't/shouldn't mess with the GWT application that I'm trying to call remotely. It is a 3rd party app that is distributed in WAR form. I'd rather not have to crack it open and add a SOAP interface into it.
Do you know of any documentation that details how I can format a POST request to a GWT RPC service?
