Calling Server Side from a plain HTML code

[mayankrjain]

Hello,

We have a fully functioning SmartGWT application. It works well. Now we are looking to build a mobile client for the application.

We are currently evaluating writing the front end screens and interactions in plain html+js from scratch and then calling the server side RPC / re-using the code we already have.

Questions:
a) Is this the recommended way to build mobile clients for smartgwt apps? If no, what is the best way to do so? Just accessing my app over mobile takes too long to load over the mobile network and is not very responsive due to touch etc issues right now (we are on smartgwt 2.5 /iOS5 )

b) Is it possible to call and process responses of smartgwt server side rpc classes via plain vanila html and js?


Thanks.

We have a new mobile-specific framework in GWT (without SmartClient) that will be going to early evaluators shortly. To sign up, use the Contact page.

If you don't use this framework, use the RestHandler servlet to allow any other technology to contact the SmartGWT server and re-use the same data services without needing to write any new server code.
