Errors on a Simple Example

[Sean]

Hello, This project seems like a great idea and I am giving it a
whirl. I'm running into some problems though, I've created a fresh GWT
Project using the Eclipse plugin and so far the only thing I changed
was having GreetingServiceImpl extend GwtRpcCommLayerServlet and
added the httpcomponents-client-4.0.1 jars to the path.

I then created a simple Main to test:
System.out.println("Testing RPC");
URL url = new URL("http://127.0.0.1:8888/RPCCommLayer.html?
gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997");
GwtRpcCommLayerClient client = new GwtRpcCommLayerClient(url);

GreetingServiceAsync stub = (GreetingServiceAsync)
client.createRemoteServicePojoProxy(GreetingServiceAsync.class);

stub.greetServer("Sean Patrick William Loughran!", new
AsyncCallback<String>()
{
public void onSuccess(String result)
{
System.out.println("Asynch-Call #1 Result->" + result);
}
public void onFailure(Throwable caught)
{
System.out.println("Asynch-Call #1 Failure " + caught);
}
});
System.out.println("Executed Asynch-Call #1 ");

And I get the error:

Testing RPC
Response Error=Content-Type must be 'binary/octet-stream'
Executed Asynch-Call #1
Asynch-Call #1 Failure java.lang.RuntimeException: No valid
GwtRpcCommLayerPojoResponse returned. Check for http errors in log.

I was wondering if anyone had some insight, I feel like this will be
superpowerful once I get it running.

Hi Sean -

I think the issue at hand is that you are using the URL to the "launch
page" rather than the URL to the actual servlet.
Take a look at the web.xml file and note the full servlet path.
This should fix the problem. let me know otherwise...

You are absolutely right, thank you! It worked on my machine like a
charm. I can't wait to use this.

I'm not sure this was intended use but, I am on a Webserver where I
can't execute my own Java files, so to run Chron jobs I have to use
perl or php. This will allow me to set up the Chron job on my own
machine and call the functions on my server! This came at a perfect
time, thank you!
