Re: add mobile version to existing GWT app?

Hi! If I'd start the project today, I'd just use plain REST / JSON for both the desktop and mobile versions. Ok, but how can you do REST/JSON with a GWT application? Would you replace the RPC calls with REST requests, using a servlet or what? Thanks Magnus -- You received this message

Here is what I would do : 1) refactor your business logic (which usually returns a Serializeable object) out of the GWT RemoteServeiceServelt, 2) Create some normal Java servelet with the API style of your choosing, REST or not. 3) Call your business logic from both places, GWT just return the

Ok, but how can you do REST/JSON with a GWT application? For me RestEasy + Errai JAX-RS is working perfectly fine. On Wednesday, December 3, 2014 10:16:23 AM UTC-8, Magnus wrote: Hi! If I'd start the project today, I'd just use plain REST / JSON for both the desktop and mobile versions.

ok, but this leads me to the question, why we don't use REST/JSON right from the beginning? Isn't it a potential option for nearly any web application today to be complemented by a mobile version some day? I work in a large project which started in 2008, but was not full time back

ok, but this leads me to the question, why we don't use REST/JSON right from the beginning? At the beginning of a project you usually know what you want to do. So if you want native clients for different platforms then you will start with some sort of REST/JSON or protobuff/thrift/...

Ok, I have to sort some ideas... - Given an existing GWT application: Can you add a REST interface so that you can access the services with a new Android app? How do you do this? Would it be a good idea to add a servlet that handles the REST based requests? - What about an

Personally I would not use GWT-RPC then because you would have to port the client side serialization/deserialization of GWT-RPC to Android and maybe in the future even iOS if you want a native iOS app as well. So you should stick to a more standard serialization that can easily be

Hi, I have looked to both of them, and I found that they focus on the client side GUI. But the GUI is something I would like to do with the native Android SDK. What I would like to do is access the data on my tomcat server, just as I do it with GWT client applications. Assume a GWT chess app

Hi, assume a normal GWT app, with a server side part and a client side part, which communicate over RPC. Can you add a mobile version with minimal effort, i. e.: - reuse the same server side part and the shared classes - replace the client side part - keep everything unique, without
