I agree: Of course the GWT serialization is the most straightforward way for the communication. And I would recommend to use it as long as you don't have any special requirements. When you have one client and one server there's no reason for using XML or JSON.
But as soon your client isn't the only one and you want to offer some kind of REST interface, XML and/or JSON definitely make sense. Then frameworks like Piriti or Acris (http://code.google.com/p/acris/wiki/ GWTJsonizer) can take care of mapping the XML / JSON to the client side POJOs. - Harald On 25 Aug., 17:44, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > I concur, seems like they're trying to overcomplicate it.
