Question

In GWT, requests are sent to XXXX.rpc which maps to a “GWT Controller” (RemoteService). The method name that will be invoked is buried in the post of this request.

Is there a way to send the method name as an additional HTTP header or as part of the URL? This way we can log the method name in our access logs.

I know there is a RpcRequestBuilder class, but I dont know how I would extend it to add the method name to the header or URL.

I think this link could help you.. http://stuffthathappens.com/blog/2009/12/22/custom-http-headers-with-gwt-rpc/

EDIT :
you should set methodName before invoking remote service method..

public class MyRpcRequestBuilder extends RpcRequestBuilder() {
    String methodName;
     public void setMethodName(String name) {
         methodName = name;
     }
     @Override  
    protected RequestBuilder doFinish(RequestBuilder rb) {    
        RequestBuilder rb = super.doFinish(rb);    
        rb.setHeader("method", methodName);    
        return rb;  
    }
};
