Re: RPC from external client

2011-07-21 Thread David Chandler
GWT-RPC no, RequestFactory yes. GWT-RPC services work only with a GWT
client, but the newer RequestFactory has been designed to support
other clients such as Android. You need requestfactory-client.jar
(from the GWT distro) on your classpath. See this presentation from
this year's I/O:
http://www.google.com/events/io/2011/sessions/android-app-engine-a-developer-s-dream-combination.html

If you just want a REST interface, however, you might want to look at
resty-gwt on github, which makes it easy to consume REST services from
a GWT client.

 3rd party library that's worthy?

 thanks in advance!
