 Tomcat -> add Servlet
 Hosted mode -> modify module XML

<inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/>
<entry-point class='com.mycompany.client.MyApplication'/>
<servlet path="/addService"
class="com.mycompany.server.MyAddServiceImpl“/>

In Eclipse: GWT Remote Service
code executed on client side
code executed on server side
 In Eclipse: GWT Remote Service
 Cypal studio maakt zelf Async interface en
implementatie klasse aan, en past xml file aan
 Implementatie van methodes moet wel zelf
voorzien worden
 Refresh werkt enkel voor client-side
aanpassingen
 Bij server-side aanpassingen moet heel de
applicatie herstart worden
