GWT-Dispatch for Server to Server Communication?

[Evan Ruff]

Hello,

I'm currently starting a project that has both a GWT AppEngine component and an Amazon EC2 cluster. I'd really like to further leverage Guice and my Action/Result/Handler classes to send data and messages between all the servers. Has anyone used GWT-Dispatch to do this sort of communication from server to server?

I was thinking about trying to extend it using the ObjectOutputStream to handle the Serialization, then ObjectInputStream on the receiver, but I ran out of steam trying to figure out how to inject the bindHandlers and such.

Any tips or experiences out there?

Thanks!

Hi Evan,

of the top of my head. The serialization you are looking for is already inside the RemoteServiceServlet in GWT (the java side of GWT RPC). I did some digging there about two years ago and reused some of this code. I know that we had some changes in GWT RPC and the Servlets so I can`t give you any exact pointers...

This one is easy. Expose your dispatch service using Spring httpinvoker.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the pointers. I actually stumbled upon a gwt-syncproxy project on Google Code:

http://code.google.com/p/gwt-syncproxy/ 

It's pretty much a drop-in library. I haven't rolled it out yet, but it's been testing really well with the GWT-Dispatch framework.

Thanks for the tips!
