Is it possible to use non-Javascript client with RequestFactory?

[David Vree]

Hi -- New to all this, but I am wondering if it is possible for my
company to supply Java, .NET, Python, etc. client-side libraries that
will run against RequestsFactory servlet?

I understand that RequestFactory uses, and is based on JSON, but the
service methods are not REST nor SOAP, but rather of its own
design...is that correct?

You can use RequestFactorySource to create a client instance (it can even run on Android devices, FWIW), then initialize it with a UrlRequestTransport, or your own implementation based on Apache HttpClient or whatever.

Thank you for you help...it is very much appreciated.

If I understand you correctly, I can (at a minimum) create a Java
client library that communicates with my GWT RequestFactory back end.

Is it safe to assume that a .NET client library that calls
RequestFactory doesn't exist? Further assuming that creating one
would be a significant undertaking....
