Hi, 

I'm trying to convert a GWT project over to use Spring Boot. I'm not able to find an example anywhere that uses GWT RPC with Spring Boot. 

Is this possible? Can anyone point me at an example please?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi 
i am not sure why you need RPC when using springboot or any webservice 

you can try Gwt web builder 
which will call directly from your gwt client to springboot .. without RPc

Hi, 

How could you not be sure why I'd want to use one of the fundamental principles of GWT, which is GWT RPC? Either I'm missing something, or you are! 

What is "Gwt web builder"? I've never heard of it and Googling it finds zero results.

GWT RPC was a must to have 10 years ago but nowadays all modern projects use REST/JSON API (it makes your APIs really easy to mock/test with all modern REST/JSON frameworks like Spring / Resteasy / Jersey vs GWT RPC APIs that are complex to test)

You can "easily" migrate your GWT RPC project to GWT RestyGWT (and use Spring boot / Resteasy on server side with a shared JAX-RS interfaces with your client)

I have a demo project using this approach: https://github.com/freddyboucher/gwt-storage-objectify
