Can I hook into the GWT rpc-serialization mechanism? The problem is for efficiency reasons the GWT RPC serialization is asymmetric -- the client can't deserialize what is serializes and vice-versa. Also, values stored in a local database will likely need to be used across versions of the app, so GWT RPC isn't really appropriate anyway -- probably better to use protobufs or JSON, though in either case you give up the ability to represent arbitrary Java object graphs. -- John A.
