querying binary data

[Max]

There is service that gets and responses binary data and Java SWING client application that works with that service.

I wish to replace Java SWING with GWT app.

Is there GWT API to query binary data?

It is unlikely to encode binary data on server.

I need that to work at least on WebKit as app must work on iOS.

Thanks

GWT is not a drop in replacement for Swing. It's a browser side javascript technology and as such communicates over HTTP. Without using bleeding edge HTML5 features, there is no robust, dependable, cross browser mechanism for sending binary data to a browser side application.

For details on binary data loading in GWT, checkout the Quake GoogleIO GWT talk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW--Wlf9EFs
