If you call a GWT-RFC the GWT-framework will do this by doing a POST, that's correct. But if you tell the browser to get a resource, this will lead to a GET-request. If the URL is the same that you use for the RFC-requests, the same servlet will be called, but the container will call the doGet- instead of the doPost-method. So you can inplement different logic like delivering resources e.g. images, files, etc. using the same servlet, that is otherwise performing RFC-method-calls. > Surely overriding stuff in a RemoteServiceServlet is more complicated > than using HttpRequest? Not really. > Is there some special reason you do this? One Servlet less that needs to be deployed. So there is one reason less why the deployment might fail.
