I would REALLY like to be able to define my members as final; however as noted on the GWT serialization page: - Fields that are declared final are also not exchanged during RPCs, so they should generally be marked transient as well.
I was wondering why final fields are not transferred? I can only imagine that when the instance is created server side it uses the no- args constructor and reflection to set the values? I find it quite annoying that I am required to enter a no args constructor, surely the RPC generator can just manually add and empty no args constructor if none already exists? One suggestion from a colleague was to add support for the @ConstructorProperties annotation to GWT serialization classes, so that the GWT serialization back end calls the constructor with arguments and matches field names with the annotation values.
