binding to existing data model

[mtrueman]

Hi there,

I am developing a web application that already has a client side data model (my architecture is hibernate, through a service layer which dozer maps to client side DTOs)

What i am interested in is binding my client side DTOs to smartgwt widgets. Is this possible? Ive seen bindings direct to datasources in the examples but cannot see any way of binding widgets to existing DTOs.

Cheers

Mark

you can certainly do this. there are quite a few ways to do it, but unfortunately, i don't know of any nice thread that lays out the 'how-to' of it. one (perhaps outdated) resource is the GWT-RPC Datasource thread: http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=4814

would be great to hear your experiences.

to make it clear, I mean look at the GWT-RPC thread and replace the RPC calls with whatever calls to access your client side DTOs.
