This forum is here to discuss and provide help about the GWT-SL
library [1], an addition to the Google Web Toolkit [2] which
integrates it better with the Spring Framework [3]. Things you may

A 1 minute crash course in how to use the GWTHandler:

----------- Define service interface -----------

public interface ServiceAdd extends BaseService{
int add(int a, int b);
}

----------- Implement service -----------

public class ServiceAddImpl implements ServiceAdd {

public int add(int a, int b) {
return new Integer(a + b);
}

}

----------- Create service bean -----------

<bean id="ServiceAdd" class="ServiceAddImpl" />

----------- Map the service to a URL -----------

<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.gwtwidgets.server.spring.GWTHandler">
<property name="mapping">
<map>
<entry key="/add.rpc" value-ref="ServiceAdd" />
</map>
</property>
</bean>

----------- And have the standard glue code in web.xml: -----------

<listener>
<listener-
class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-
class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>GWTSpring</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>GWTSpring</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.rpc</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

For your reading pleasure, a description [5] and short how-to of the
newly introduces GWTController, a controller that exposes encapsulated
service beans to URLs via RPC.
