@Didier Of course MyType implements Serializable . It is just a typo in the example. Sorry.
@Paul I didn't realized that Class is not GWT-serializable. Thanks for your remark. I lost pretty much time to find out why I get an exception during an RPC call It would have been nice if Class<T> was serializable. I would have used it to select an appropriate handler at server-side. Anyway I use instead the canonical class name to map the handler, but the code is little bit more uggly :-) I noticed also the a call to class.hashCode() does not give the same value in the (gwt-compiled)-client and in the (JVM running)-server. In my attempts to workaround the "unserializability" of Class, I tried to use the hashCode() value, unsuccessfully...
