Developer Release: GWT-REST

Today, I am pleased to announce the release of GWT-REST.

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

From the Google Code project site:

GWT-REST is an asynchronous RESTful client implementation for GWT.

GWT-REST can be used alongside GWT-RPC or as a replacement for it. The intent is to provide a drop-in solution for communicating with REST web services that may or may not be implemented in Java.

GWT-REST works out of the box with Rails 2.0 using JSON. I built it for Actionatr and extracted it to share with others who may be looking to do the same thing. Rails isn’t a requirement though. The code is built using interfaces that allow you to customize for other representations like XML and other server side styles like JSR-311/Jersey.

Comments and trackbacks are both currently closed

    Totally sweet man! It’d be great to see a demonstration of this, as I’m sure it’s extremely useful!

    @Chris:

    Thanks! I’m working on a demo for this that is embedded in another open source project nearing its first release. Details will be posted soon.

    I’m also interested in some example code (both GWT client-side and Rails server-side code, if possible) for this package, as the README file doesn’t really provide enough info (for me anyway).

    Thanks!
