Package com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc

package com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc

Classes used in server-side implementation of remote procedure calls.

The RemoteServiceServlet class provides the most convenient implementation of server-side GWT RPC. This class can be used in two ways: it can be subclassed by servlets that directly implement one or more service interfaces, in which case incoming RPC calls will be directed to the servlet subclass itself; or it can be overridden to give finer control over routing RPC calls within a server framework. (For more details on the latter, see the RemoteServiceServlet.processCall(String) method.)

Alternatively, GWT RPC can be integrated into an existing framework, by using the RPC class to perform GWT RPC decoding, invocation, and encoding. RemoteServiceServlet need not be subclassed at all in this case, though reading its source is advisable.

Note that the default RemoteServiceServlet implementation never throws exceptions to the servlet container. All exceptions that escape the RemoteServiceServlet.processCall(String) method will be caught, logged in the servlet context, and will cause a generic failure message to be sent to the GWT client -- with a 500 status code. To customize this behavior, override RemoteServiceServlet.doUnexpectedFailure(java.lang.Throwable).

Class	Description
AbstractRemoteServiceServlet	An abstract base class containing utility methods.
AbstractXsrfProtectedServiceServlet	An abstract class for XSRF protected RPC service implementations, which decides if XSRF protection should be enforced on a method invocation based on the following logic: RPC interface or method can be annotated with either XsrfProtect or NoXsrfProtect annotation to enable or disable XSRF protection on all methods of an RPC interface or a single method correspondingly.
EnumMap<K extends Enum<K>,V>	A serialization-compatible mock for EnumMap that uses an equal EnumMap.serialVersionUID and a compatible set of fields.
EnumMapUtil	A utility to extract the key type of any EnumMap, even if it is empty.
NoXsrfProtect	Annotation on RPC interfaces and methods indicating that they do not need to be XSRF protected.
RemoteServiceServlet	The servlet base class for your RPC service implementations that automatically deserializes incoming requests from the client and serializes outgoing responses for client/server RPCs.
RPC	Utility class for integrating with the RPC system.
RPCRequest	Describes an incoming RPC request in terms of a resolved Method and an array of arguments.
RPCServletUtils	Utility class containing helper methods used by servlets that integrate with the RPC system.
SerializationPolicy	This is an abstract class for representing the serialization policy for a given module and RemoteService.
SerializationPolicyClient	A simple and relatively naive client for downloading serialization policies from a URL.
SerializationPolicyClient.Logger	Destination for the loader's log messages.
SerializationPolicyLoader	API for loading a SerializationPolicy.
SerializationPolicyProvider	Used to obtain a SerializationPolicy for a given module base URL and serialization policy strong name.
ServerCustomFieldSerializer<T>	An interface that may be implemented by server-side class-based custom field serializers.
UnexpectedException	The GWT RPC class throws UnexpectedException when a service method, being invoked by GWT RPC, throws a checked exception that is not in the service method's signature.
XsrfProtect	Annotation for RPC interfaces and methods indicating that they should be XSRF protected.
XsrfProtectedServiceServlet	EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change.
XsrfTokenServiceServlet	EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change.
