[xwiki-devs] XWikiRemoteServiceServlet for component based GWT RPC services

Hi devs, Following http://stuffthathappens.com/blog/2009/09/14/guice-with-gwt/ I've made a simple servlet that dispatches GWT requests to corresponding components. Here's the code: public class XWikiRemoteServiceServlet extends RemoteServiceServlet { public String processCall(String payload) throws SerializationException { try { RPCRequest req = RPC.decodeRequest(payload, null, this); RemoteService service = (RemoteService) Utils.getComponent(req.getMethod().getDeclaringClass()); return RPC.invokeAndEncodeResponse(service, req.getMethod(), req.getParameters(), req .getSerializationPolicy()); } catch (IncompatibleRemoteServiceException ex) { log("IncompatibleRemoteServiceException in the processCall(String) method.", ex); return RPC.encodeResponseForFailure(null, ex); } } } I tested it with the new MacroService component (to be committed in WYSIWYG code) and it works great. I'm wondering where to place this servlet since it's generic and should be used by all GWT applications that use services. I'm hesitating to place it in web/gwt because I think this is "new" code, component oriented while the gwt module depends on the old xwiki-core. Another question is if it's OK to use Utils.getComponent(Class) or should we find a way to inject the component manager. They use a GuiceFilter to do this in the tutorial I pointed out. WDYT? Thanks, Marius
