Hi group folks!
I want to be able to retrieve RPC-serialized objects via HTTP GET. I don't
really need a service based serialization mechanism but started with
gwt-rpc before RequestFactory was around. At this point I'd prefer not to
migrate to RequestFactory if I can avoid it because of existing custom
field serializers, etc.
The reason I'm looking to retrieve objects via GET is because I want to set
up a caching reverse proxy in front of my app. I would invalidate the cache
when an object changes, which is very infrequently.
Is there a way to use ServerSerializationStreamWriter to serialize an
object on the server outside the context of an RPC request? The object
would be deserialized on the client via SerializationStreamReader.
I would like to use code on the server like this:
SerializationStreamWriter writer = new
ServerSerializationStreamWriter(getSerializationPolicy(moduleBaseUrl,
strongName));
writer.writeObject(configurator);
and code on the client like this:
SerializationStreamFactory factory =
(SerializationStreamFactory) GWT
.create(RemoteServiceImpl.class);
SerializationStreamReader reader =
factory.createStreamReader(response.getText());
reader.readObject();
I figure I can send the client permutation strong name to the server, and
then I should be able to retrieve the correct serialization policy file. I
can use GWT.getPermutationStrongName() on the client for that, except when
running in Dev Mode since it returns "HostedMode" instead of a strong name
hash. I see that the payload of the RPC request when running in Dev Mode
has a valid strong name. It appears that strong name is being set from
generated code, and I haven't been able to find how it's being retrieved.
How can I get a valid permutation strong name when running in Dev Mode on
the client?
Or is there a better way for me to use the RPC serialization
(SerializationStreamWriter and SerializationStreamReader) to serialize a
POJO on the server and deserialize on the client?
Thanks for any tips,
Peter
