There are are two ways you can go about this. *GWT Client Code ---- (RPC) ----> Server Code --- wsdl2java-----> SOAP web service* This is the standard method, and you can all the tools you are already familiar with. Assuming you are not using app engine, there is no restriction whatsover. This approach duplicates the entity objects in a way. For example, if you have a UpdateUser SOAP web service, wsdl2java will generate one set of classes, and you will need another set of classes for the rpc code. However, it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
*GWT Client Code ---- Request Builder + some framework --------> SOAP Web Service* Theoretically, this is also possible. You can create the necessary SOAP headers in the browser, and then send a request using Request Builder. You would have to write a modified version of wsdl2java to create GWT compatible classes (or someone may already be doing that). Note that SOAP isn't an effective medium of communication for web-apps. The header and footer are too verbose. Besides, you would like the SOAP webservice to be generic and not tied to the UI; this approach will either make the WS less re-usable, or will make your client logic a bit more complicated. So, there are pros and cons to both approaches. You need to pick the right approach based on your needs and then move from there. --Sri On 8 April 2010 13:08, Vertik <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks! > > I'm waiting for the next opinion ;) > > On Apr 8, 8:03 am, rjcarr <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Vertik- > > > > The gwt-rpc mechanism uses its own proprietary object serialization, > > and as such, cannot be used as a "normal" web service (i.e., an xml > > web service generated from a wsdl).
