GWT and Spring

[João Peixoto]

Hi everyone
First post, so lets not blow it
I did post this in the Spring forums as well.

I've been searching quite a lot for ways to integrate GWT with Spring,
but so far I haven't found any working method.
I think that the problem is that some detail step is missing, but
nevertheless here goes what I have and hopefully someone can help me.

The APP I'm trying to create right now is a Spring enabled greeting
service. What I've done:

com.demo.client.DemoService
com.demo.client.DemoServiceAsync
com.demo.server.DemoServiceImpl

The classes themselves are pretty straight forward.

web.xml added the following:

Code:
<servlet>
                <servlet-name>DemoSpring</servlet-name>
                
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</
servlet-class>
                        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>
        <servlet-mapping>
                <servlet-name>DemoSpring</servlet-name>
                <url-pattern>*.rpc</url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping>
DemoSpring-servlet.xml has the following:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
         "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd";>
<beans>
        <bean id="demoService" class="com.demo.server.DemoServiceImpl" />
        <bean id="urlMapping"
class="org.gwtwidgets.server.spring.GWTHandler">
                <property name="mapping">
                        <map>
                                <entry key="/demoService.rpc" 
value-ref="demoService" />
                        </map>
                </property>
        </bean>
</beans>
The way I instantiate the service on the client is:

Code:
private final DemoServiceAsync demoService =
GWT.create(DemoService.class);

The problem I'm currently getting is Class Not Found, regarding
GWTHandler in the urlMapping bean.

I understand that URL requests have to be redirected to the Spring
dispatcher, however I'm having a hard time to understand how a
"@Service" Spring stereotype will relate to a GWT
"@RemoteServiceRelativePath" and most of all, how to achieve it..

Any tips would be much appreciated.
Best regards
