Re: Development mode cross site RPC requests

Hmmm, I glanced over that thinking it wouldn't allow me to do the convenient 
browser-refresh to test my client-side code...

I should really look into it further.

Thanks for the smack to the head ;-)

My thinking exactly.  Definitely worth investigating.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Y'know I thought about that... In fact I thought about even using such a 
setup in prod mode.  That way i could take advantage of the optimized 
across-the-wire serialized data transfers built in to GWT and save the 
client from downloading all the XML parsing logic. That would be done in 
this server side component.

If I ever have time I'd like to explore that to see if there is a 
performance hit for this extra step or if the optimized transfers would make 
it a overall benefit.

Thanks.

You could create a server side component for your GWT app, and delegate 
fetching the XML data to that.

I would think that the servlet would increase the performance of the 
application by a bit.  XML parsing in JS can't be fun, or fast, for that 
matter.  This assumes the latency between wherever you would run your 
application server and the target C++ backend isn't too high, though.  
Otherwise you are making a big triangle of a route, as opposed to simply 
back and forth.  Probably still worth it, since then you can leverage 
awesome java XML parsing libraries.

You may see some performance penalty for switching servers, I suppose.  I 
seem to recall that Tomcat wasn't quite as zippy as Apache.
