You could do this the other way round:
On the gadget side you could register yourself to the onload event
(gadgets.util.registerOnLoadHandler) and send an rpc call to the container.
gadgets.rpc.call('..', 'put_data_set', function(dataSets) {
opensocial.data.DataContext.
putDataSets(dataSets);
}, null);
The container side can create the data set object and pass it to the gadget
via the specified callback, which in turn sets the new dataset on the gadget
side:
gadgets.rpc.register('put_
data_set', function() {
this.callback(object);
});
