data with a RequestBuilder.
Have you actually tried that ? I tried and got burned by the SOP.

various tutorials on the subject.
My issue:
Can I make a call to a different server than just my native one with
the classes/language gwt provides? For example, I interact normally
with my server, but want to ask a different server
Sorry for the newbie question. After a lot of searching I finally got
sent in the right direction. I assume RequestBuilder is what I want?
