I suspect web services is the way to go, especially if you can embed some sort of server in your Windows app. If you Springify your GWT app, you can expose web services that the windows app can call. Then if you expose web services in your windows app, you can make a GWT RPC call that then talks to the windows app. -- Thanks Paul Paul Grenyer e: [email protected] b: paulgrenyer.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
