My approach has been to use RequestFactory.getProxyId to turn known ids into EntityProxyIds, and from there to get the actual instance. This works for the most part, unless you actually want to use the same id format that the server uses. In this case, why not add a method to your RequestContext subclass? Request<MyEntity> getEntityWithId(long id);
To hijack this thread somewhat, has anyone done any work calling the underlying IdFactory methods as Tom mentioned, with the intent of already getting a history token without type information? My Places know which type they represent, and so their tokenizers can work with more simple history tokens, if this is possible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
