SmartGWT RestDataSource

Question

Hi all,

I'm using SmartGWT/SmartClient LGPL, I can't use the Pro, due to project ties.

I would like to create a RestDataSource from a jdbc connection, to be exposed from the server to the SmartGWT client.

How could it be done?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you had a look at the source code for the RestDataSource Edit & Save example from the Showcase? It's a good starting point.

If you want REST on the server I'd recommend Restlet talking to a JDBC backend. You could take the example above and wire it up to your Restlets instead of the XML.
