Done that this.getClass() is well known at compile time, could be a great improvement to adding support for GWT.create(this.getClass()). For example, Guice/GIN TypeLiteral<T> is not fully emulated in web mode because it's impossible to determine WTH is the type parameter T (not support for equals(), hashCode(), toString(), etc.) . With GWT.create(this.getClass()), TypeLiteral emulation could be defined as:
class TypeLiteral<T>{ private final TypeInfo<T> typeInfo = GWT.create(this.getClass()); protected TypeLiteral<T>(){} public String toString(){ return typeInfo.toString(); } .... } With such feature, the UiBinder boilerplate could be fixed: class EasyUiBinder<U, O> implements UiBinder<U,O>{ private final UiBinder<U, O> impl = GWT.create(this.getClass()); protected EasyUiBinder(){} public U createAndBindUi(O owner) { return impl.createAndBindUi(owner); } } UiBinder<Widget, EasyDemo> uiBinder = new EasyUiBinder<Widget, EasyDemo>(){}; Are there technical limitations for support something like this? - Andrés -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
