first of all SOP is a browser topic not an GWT. I don't think that browsers will give up security. > That is a sad state of affairs and ties the client to a GWT-RPC > speaking backend.

What is the problem to call them from GWT-serverside ? (By the way, Spring Roo may become a substitute for rails when fully supporting GWT) To mashup to any service from browser looks only attractive at the first glance. It would be a security disaster. No browser vendor will allow this. Stefan Bachert http://gwtworld.de -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
