Puh, once compiled your Java code is JavaScript code. No JVM available, no reflection available, classes/methods/variable names obfuscated. So your only chance would be a GWT generator that produces serialization code at compile time. This serialization code must correctly produce/consume binary data that satisfies the serialization protocol of Java: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/platform/serialization/spec/protocol.html . Not sure if thats possible. My feeling says no, but I also have never read up Java's serialization spec. So maybe my feeling is wrong. > Of course the other approach is to convert the Java object into a full > JSON object but given it's complexity I haven't found a way to do that yet > (I posted separate newsgroup message on that approach).

There are - Json Overlay Types - AutoBeans - Frameworks like Piriti (http://code.google.com/p/piriti/) - maybe you can borrow you some code from resty-gwt (http://restygwt.fusesource.org/documentation/restygwt-user-guide.html#JSON_Encoder_Decoders) - you can roll your own solution using GWT's generators at compile time. I'll bet there should exist something that suites your needs. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
