How to return a Map<String, String> from RPC DMI

[azuniga]

I'm currently running gwt 2.3 and smartgwtpower nightly 2.5 on rhel. I have an rpc dmi call that I want to return a map<string, string>. Is this possible? Is the best way to create a RPCResponse on the server and set an attribute with a map value and then access it from the RPCResponse on the client? I tried to cast the rawData object to a Map<string, string> but I got an error saying that it can't cast a javascriptobject to a Map.

Yes, you can return that data - anything you return is going to be translated according to the rules listed under the server-side JSTranslater class. In this case, you can use JSOHelper.convertToMap() to get back to a Java Map.

I get an error when I try to create an RPCResponse

public RPCResponse foo(HttpServletRequest aRequest)
{
RPCResponse rpcResponse = new RPCResponse();
rpcResponse.setAttribute("id", 
            this.getStuff(
                  this.user.getFoo(aRequest)));
      
      return rpcResponse;
}
