Limiting serializable types in RPC

2009-12-14 Thread Luis Fernando Planella Gonzalez
Is there a way (it would be nice if there were one) to exclude types
from RPC?
Here's the concrete use case: In our project, the RemoteService
interfaces are defined in a separate project as the web layer. And all
methods / parameters use the Java best practices: always reference
collections by it's interface.
However, having a method to return CollectionString, for example,
generates code to handle Vector, ArrayList, LinkedList, HashSet,
LinkedHashSet...
As interfaces are in a separated project, and it would be messy and
make maintenance harder to change all interfaces to a given
implementation...
If I know I ALWAYS return ArrayLists or HashSets, is there a way to
blacklist other types so code to handle all other types wouldn't get
in our generated javascript?

Unfortunately, java best practice differs from GWT best practice in this
area. Standard advice for GWT is to make your RPC APIs as type-specific
as possible.
