I believe JavaClient uses the standard Java serialization, which is

Hmmm. I wonder if it would be possible to get Apple to add the
serialization methods to the EODistributionContext.Delegate interface
so that you could pick something like JSON instead...
Also, JavaClient's serialization is HEAVY since the whole EC is
transferred (I think) with each request to the server,which kind of
makes sense actually, but is possibly an expensive operation.
Yeah. It would be heavy. I'm thinking though that as more and more
devs start having to deal with manually specifying and transferring
all the various EOs that they'll need to be able to make a truly rich
interface, that in the end, simply transferring the EC will be best in
most situations. Especially if you are using page-specific ECs.
You certainly have a valid point about the large amount of data
transferred between a rich client and the server, but in most cases
you are greatly reducing the number of client-server transactions
required to accomplish a given task.
Also, you would have to rewrite EOEditingContext and related classes
in Javascript, which is a fairly large task.
But I thought that was part of what Gianduia did and what made it so
much cooler than last years rich-client-of-the-moment Sprout Core.

Hi all,
I have a question that I think I can finally put into words after an
excellent WOWODC, especially the session on Javascript Clients.
Why not use the already built-in com.webobjects.eodistribution
classes as the interface for passing EOs and such back and forth
instead of re-inventing the wheel? This is how a JavaClient
application passes EOs and ECs back and forth between the client and
server, and the default method is HTTP using POST commands. Couldn't
a Javascript client simply leverage that existing interface to the
server-side EOF stack?
