Topics in This Section
•
Idea of RPC
•
eveopment process
–Defining main data service interface–Defining callback version of data service interface
 
–Making a data service servlet–Creating a service proxy–-
•
Examples
–Getting simple data from server–Getting complex types from server–Getting serializablecustom classes from server
•
Handlin asnchronous methods
–Performing server-dependent ops only in callback methods
•
Testing

RPC: Big Idea
•
Write regular methods on server;don’t write servlet methods
–Methods take arbitrary arguments
 
–Methods return arbitrary results
•Strings, arrays, lists, custom classes, etc.
•
Call methods directly from client;don’t make explicit HTTP requests
–a server metos amost as toug tey were oca–Pass arbitrary arguments and get arbitrary results
•Custom form of serialization handles all the arsin

RPC: Notes
•
Online RPC documentation is good
–Start at http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/overview.html,go to “Developer’s Guide” and then “CommunicatingwithaServer”. 
 
•
GWT does not require RPC
–It is a tremendous simplification, and should be used for
 
all new GWT projects. However, if you
already
have aserver-side resource, you can still access it. See...clientserver.html
•However, this approach is muchlower-level, and it. .

RPC Data Types
•
Server methods can accept & return complex types
–Pacing and unpacing handled automatically
•Even though client-side code is JavaScript (not Java) at runtime
•
Legal types
–Primitives
•int, double, boolean, etc.
–Wraers
•Integer, Double, Boolean, etc.
–A subset of standard Java types
•ArraListDateHashMaHashSetStrinetc. 
 – For full list, go to main GWT page athttp://code.google.com/webtoolkit/overview.html, then Reference Guide,then JRE Emulation Reference. No String.formator printf.
– –Arrays containing any of the above types
