getThreadLocalRequest() returns null
jopaki
GWTHandler), invoking this method:
this.getThreadLocalRequest();
returns null.
I am running in HOST mode with an external web server w/ a Spring
context. I am employing the GWTHandler as advertised. I am able to
step through both the client GWT JVM and the server app JVM no problem.
Do I need to do anything special with regard to GWTHandler? Is it
because I'm in host mode?

GWTHandler forwards RPC to your pojo services. The fact that you have a
getThreadLocalRequest() method in your service implies that you are
extending either the RemoteServiceServlet or the GWTSpringController -
both of which rely on the fact that they are the entry point to the
RPC, which of course is not true if they are in fact demoted to a
simple service using the GWTHandler.
The summary: you can't (and thus shouldn't) extend
RemoteService/GWTSpringController if you intend to use it with the
GWTHandler. If you do need a hold on the Request/Response objects check
out a new version of the GWTHandler from the svn (a proper release
should follow during the next week) which provides ways of obtaining
these objects. Please also read the discussion at [1].
