Does anyone have a working example of using the new GWT constructs for RequestFactory with a SmartGWT DataSource for databound widgets ?
If possible I would like to make a generic data service that contains methods for listAll, getByExample, getByPrimaryKey etc. I beleibe it should be possible ???
If using RequestFactory would it make sense to ditch the datasource altogether and work directly with the widget fields ?
Cheers,
Andy

This link provides an implementation of smartgwt datasource with RPC. My take is it should be easy to extend it to RequestFactory.
About ditching DataSource, I would advice against it. I have created an application with it and trust me, smartgwt widgets are very deeply ingrained with a datasource. A lot of vanilla functionality of the widgets depends on datasource. To ditch the datasouce all together and try and use the widgets gets pretty complicated. I always have felt that smartgwt skimps on documentation, and that will hit you hard.
So prefer a datasource unless you have a very gooood understanding of how smartgwt works!
