GWT RequestFactory: how expose spring beans??

[ivangsa]

Hi

How can I expose an spring bean as a gwt RequestFactory service?

For what I saw it's quite easy to expose an static method of an arbitrary class

but for @Instance methods it looks that the RequestFactoryServlet is expecting the remote object to be an @Entity to be loaded by its id...

can any other objects that are not an @Entity be exposed as remote services?


it could be ok a new service instance that was maked as @Configurable, but is it posible to expose an spring singleton bean as a requestfactory service?

Regards
Ivan

Currently there is no support for that. You either have to expose your methods as static or it must be an Entity if you use the @Instance annotation. There will be support for arbitrary service object added. If it does not make it into the GA release it will be added in a point release that should come out pretty quickly after the GA release.
