Hi,

A lot of web APIs use REST nowadays. GWT seems really well suited to
build mashups/UIs on top of REST web services.

However, it's not that easy to work with REST from GWT (see also
http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit/browse_thread/thread/71f2d5599ee2593f/41ef729a5d1cfe8d?lnk=gst&q=rest#41ef729a5d1cfe8d
)

There are two projects tackling this:
* Restlet http://blog.noelios.com/2008/07/25/restlet-ported-to-gwt/
* SmartGWT's 
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/javadoc/com/smartgwt/client/docs/ClientDataIntegration.html
(it provides DataSources, then makes it easy to have REST DataSources,
both read/write)

Are there any plans to improve out-of-the-box GWT to work with REST,
so no additional libraries are needed? Is there a wish list to submit
this request?

Thanks
