I'm attempting to switch to using RequestFactory instead of GWT-RPC and manually creating DTOs. It's been going pretty well, except I've hit one use-case that is just a brick wall.
I have a panel that is an Editor<DocumentProxy> which uses a RequestFactoryEditorDriver to handle the editing. One of the properties of DocumentProxy is another proxy, which I want to edit in a dialog box that shows when a button is clicked in the panel. The dialog is another Editor. The problem is that anytime something changes in this dialog, I want to flush the editor, send the current values to the server for validation, and report any errors right away. This works fine, but the dialog box has a cancel button, which should revert any changes made in the dialog box. I was able to do this before by storing the original value when it's set, and editing a clone while in the dialog box. But entity proxies can't be usefully cloned in any way that I currently see, so I'm at a loss as to how to get this behavior. Any suggestions? I'm currently on GWT 2.1.1rc1, should be upgrading to 2.1.1 soon. -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
