Question

GWT RequestFactory is nice while saving/update the data, using as below:

EmployeeRequest request = requestFactory.employeeRequest();
EmployeeProxy newEmployee = request.create(EmployeeProxy.class);
newEmployee.setName("Joe!");

Request<Void> createReq = request.persist().using(newEmployee);
createReq.fire();

and we use remove instead of persist to delete.

Then how about Search using RequestFactory. Say my domain object is Employee with name, login & address. All three fields are optional for search, Can we achieve this using RequestFactory? or we should use RPC?

Using your example, you can find user with RequestFactory like this:

request.employeeRequest().find(newEmployee).with("name", "login", "address");
