This has saved me so much frustration, mate! Thanks a lot for this. GWT and Spring now work together seamlessly.

Looks simpler than the toCollage-net project.

Never mind, I’ve dumbly left runtime for the spring-context.jar in my pom.xml while it has to be compile..

So sorry

Cheers

Hi, I’ve found your solution very clean and sharp.
In theory, though.
I’ve tried it in a larger environment where we have to do gwt-rpc-spring, and it complains in compilation phase(!!) that:

[INFO] Compilation failure
\workspace-sgr\xx\yy\service\common\AutoinjectingRemoteServiceServlet.java:[26,46] cannot access org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext
class file for org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext not found
AutowireCapableBeanFactory beanFactory = ctx.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();

as if there were permission issues accessing org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext (quite obviously spring-context.jar IS in the classpath..)

Any ideas? Did it ever happen to you?

Cheers

netter Artikel. Ich würde aber mal ein bisschen deine Website für Suchmaschienen optimieren, die findet man sehr schwer über google.

Anyone found a solution to use this in Spring 2.1 yet?

Hi Constantine,

you are welcome, I am glad it fits you need.
From the Spring API:

autowireBean( Object existingBean )

Populate the given bean instance through applying
after-instantiation callbacks and bean property
post-processing (e.g. for annotation-driven injection).

autowireBeanProperties(Object existingBean, int autowireMode, boolean dependencyCheck)

Autowire the bean properties of the given bean instance by name or type.

Well, “autowireBean” worked properly for me, can’t tell why it did not work for you.

Thanks for a simple yet effective method! Though, I had to fix it a bit – using autowireBeanProperties instead of autowireBean, otherwise my services didn’t get populated.

Before you start using GWT-RPC, give it a second thought by having a look here:

Thanks P.G. This is indeed the most straightforward way to go.

I have uploaded a full implementation of the ideas in this article here:

http://code.google.com/p/gwt-spring-starter-app/

It’s simply the greeting app you get when you use the GWT webAppCreator but then modified according to your article.

Hi Alec,

nice example application. Would it be possible to download the whole example as a (Eclipse) project? This would be more comfortable than downloading the individual files (btw clicking on “spring-security.xml” shows an alert “not implemented”).

Thanks,
Michael

Hello, P.G.,

Thank you for the post. I like the way you use Spring auto-injecting with GWT RPC, am going to give it a try. On my website, http://minetats.com , I have another example on how one could use GWT and Spring together – a menu-driven web application. I use commands on both client and server sides. On the server, I use ServiceLocatorFactoryBean as well as Spring Security (with a GWT-driven login page). Please take a look if interested.

Thanks,
Alec Missine

Sorry, having troubles with XML code snippets and the layout… Hope to get it fixed soon…
