Mobile: looking for a way to use GWT-RPC in DataSource

[Gleb]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to use GWT-RPC calls in DataSource for SmartGWT.mobile application.

Could you please give me a hint how to do it?

Using GWT-RPC almost certainly doesn't make sense for SmartGWT.mobile; instead, if you can't use the server framework, it's usually going to be much more effective to write a JSON REST interface server-side. What are you trying to accomplish that you think is best done with GWT-RPC instead of REST?

First of all, I already have implemented GWT-RPC calls used by non-mobile SmartGWT application. So I like to re-use the same API for the mobile version.

Secondly, these GWT-RPC returns JSON, so they provide almost same performance like JSON REST. But they takes some Java POJOs as input so it pretty convenient from business logic point of view.
