I might not be understanding the problem correctly. Let me give you an example of what my site does (which sounds vaguely similar to what you want to do):
-GWT sends a GET request to my server -My server sends a request to Amazon (or equivalent), which sends back information in XML format -My server returns the XML to GWT -GWT processes XML and does stuff with it I am able to debug it in GWT so I know the above is possible. I'm not sure if it's possible to make GET requests to remote servers (I suspect not due to SOP). If you can get the remote info onto your local webserver, then gwt should be able to request it from there. I hope this helps - I'm no expert either, just know what I have worked out so far. -Rob On Mar 19, 3:53 pm, Jon Britton <mankillseveryth...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Yes, that's clearer.
