Oops, actually, our real need for the custom-generated DeobfuscatorBuilder is because we have methods on our RequestContext that do not match service methods directly (we have some kind of "translation" of the parameter and return types; this is really hackish so I won't go into the details here, but we have that translation of types taking place, so we have to mark our methods with @SkipInterfaceValidation, and instead of overriding resolveDomainMethod in a ServiceLayerDecorator, we generate the mapping in the DeobfuscatorBuilder). For properties on proxies, you can actually simply mark them with @SkipInterfaceValidation and "implement" them in a ServiceLayerDecorator, you don't need to tweak the DeobfuscatorBuilder as there's nothing to be "resolved" here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
