RestyGWT and object graph with recursion

[Edson Richter]

I've a object graph:

• Company has 0 or many Employees;
  
• Employee work for one Company;
  

Actual GWT-RPC code handles this with easy transparent logic (no need to special tricks either in client side neither in server side code).

Does RestyGWT handle this object scenario without causing recursion errors?

Thanks,

Edson

RestyGWT delegates the JSON parsing to gwt-jackson, and even if gwt-jackson support that, did your server support cyclic JSON references? Don't think so. You can always handle this manually, returning, for example, a simple container with all users and all companies, and each user containing the parent company id. 

Discussion here... https://github.com/resty-gwt/resty-gwt/issues/96

And maybe it is solved (I never used it) see https://github.com/nmorel/gwt-jackson/blob/2f715204c33a210514c184677477204562a624c0/gwt-jackson/src/test/java/com/github/nmorel/gwtjackson/shared/advanced/identity/ObjectIdSerializationTester.java

I've implemented a really easy setup and exchanged GWT-RPC by RestyGWT without any code fuss. I would never suspected that would be so easy!

And about recursion, yes! Jackson 2 has this feature (just need to add one annotation to point the "candidate key" of my POJOs and all the rest is transparent).

I'm really happy with results so far.

Sharing a sample project will be awesome!

I'll try to write a cookbook as soon as possible, but I assure that is enough to follow the docs - really, really easy.
