I'm just about to start a major web app project (rewriting the main
product or a sofware vendor) . In the past I've been a project manager or
a developer in some small GWT projects. I think GWT is a good choice for
business app with a lot of tabular data and information. But still I have
some concerns.
- GWT-RPC was one of the reason, I chose GWT in the past because of the
magic of using (almost) the same objects on the server and client sides. To
cope with the serialization and HIbenrante Lazy loading issues, we 've been
using 2 strategies :
- 1/ A modified version of Dozer (powerful but needs tweaking) used
to transtype HIbernate objects into a dedicated DTO layer
- 2/ Directly buidling dedicated objects for GWT (infact on this
project we even use the same genric structure for entities, a kind of
"enhanced" map of properties with an additional type and id attributes.
- Today there is a kind of fog around these questions: GILEAD is not
maintained any more, the new RequestFactory API seems awkard to me
(especially with all these loose conventions)
So in a nutshell what guys do you recommend for client / server
communication in GWT today ?
