Clean conversion of JSON is achieved with com.google.gwt.jsonp.client.JsonpRequestBuilder Request factory is not necessary. These guidelines describe the basics of working with JSON and overlay types (JavaScript objects wrapped with Java facade) http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/tutorial/JSON.html com.google.gwt.jsonp.client.JsonpRequestBuilder simplifies things even more because there is no need to do any JSNI and eval(). And it also allows for cross-site communication variant called JSON with padding, which is described in detail here: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/tutorial/Xsite.html > Can i still use "Editor" if I opt for JSON/REST solution above ? > What do you think of this approach ? do you think it may result in > performance problems ? > > Since overlay types look like POJOs, I think they should work with Editor framework, but I haven't tried that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
