I thought the idea behind 2.1.1 was to get rid of static ?


I am a bit confused on what is meant by the term "service" methods.

Normally we have a "Service Layer", and a "Data Access Layer"

Data Access Layer (all the DAOs), responsible for communicating with
persistent stores to find objects of a "given type"

findCustomerById, ByEmail, AllCustomers, AllCustomersWithCriteriaX
all of this goes into CustomerDAO

then you need a Service Layer, that uses many of these DAOs to satisfy
a use case.
PersonService, might use PersonDAO, AccountDAO, and more ..., performs
a business logic on them and take some action.

in RequestFactory 2.1.1, do you think the ServiceLayer and
ServiceLocator is just
for locating the DAOs or the Service objects as I described ?
(because in RequestFactory 2.1 even the DataAccess (DAOs) where inside
Entity class.

to achieve the complete isolation we need a ServiceLayer +
DataAccessLayer on top of our Entities.

with RF 2.1.1, can we specify just the Service method in GWT, and
leaving the job of dealing with DAOS to the Service object ?

I am planning to use it with Spring too.

in your case (spring), you need all 4 attributes ?

on PersonProxy we use @ProxyFor(EntityObject, EntityLocator)

on PersonService we use @Service(ServiceObject, ServiceObjectLocator)

so the EntityLocator is the DAO ? and ServiceLocator queries spring
context
to find the Service method to handle the EntityLocator ?

yet, all of these methods have to be static ?

Thank You
