Hi, This issue was driving me nuts.. It costs me so much time to update these policy files (re-deploy/restart server). I even ended up with around 100 policy files whereas I only need about 10 (for different gwt app's against the same backend), but I didn't dare to clean them as I didn't know

Hi, I am a bit lost here. I mean, I don't really understand why I even need these policy files and why they aren't more flexible in usage (maybe even optional). If I am correct, it's there for security reasons, it's used to indicate which objects are allowed to be (de)serialized. But what if I

dear all! what we do is at compilation time, with ant, to move the policy files to the package of the server side implementation of the service, and to use following loader: /** * We do not want that the server goes to fetch files from the servlet context, so we keep the .gwt.prc files

All necessary information is comming in the RPC call. If you take a look into RemoteContextSerializationPolicy you can see how the HTTP connection is initiated. You don't have to take care about where are RPCs located because the call itself will tell you. The drawback of remote context is that

I gave the above remote context some more thoughts, and it's not an option: - I run in the following environments: dev, test, acceptance, production and build. The dev and build environments are the ones that give me problems as I run GWTTestCase's in these mode's with a proxy servlet to forward

I've messed with no server mode and serialization files a bit but unfortunately my situation is somewhat simpler so I don't think what I've done is directly applicable. I'm using GWT 2.0 so some of this may does not apply if you are using earlier versions. I have an simpler situation than you do

Thanks for your thoughts Alex. The solution is a bit like discussed above with Ladislav. I am still not so happy about retrieving this rpc files from different locations in different environments and also having to configure a HTTP context in the build/dev environment to be able to retrieve the

well, you may have as many client contexts as you wish. In local context configuration you need to copy RPC files to the server - and that is what you apparently don't want. But in remote context these RPC files are generated on the client (by ProxyCreator), they remain there and server is able to

He, to fetch them using HTTP connection to appropriate client. Indeed, that doesn't sound that bad, but I will need to maintan a mapping between the moduleBaseUrl that I receive in the backend and the actual http url of the module location where I can find the policy file. And these mappings are

Hi Ed, maybe this will give you some relevant answers: http://code.google.com/p/acris/wiki/SeparateClientAndServer , especially the part Accessing RPC files from server. There is a solution how to access RPC files in no-server mode remotely also. On 22. Feb, 11:17 h., Ed post2edb...@hotmail.com

Hi Ladislav, Thanks for your response. I do almost the same thing as Acris does, I only have my files located in the classpath (I also use GWT-SL to read my policy files).. But Acris also doesn't solve the problem of having all these policy files scattered around and assumes that you have them
