The RemoteServiceServlet
class provides the most convenient implementation
of server-side GWT RPC. This class can be used in two ways: it can be
subclassed by servlets that directly implement one or more service
interfaces, in which case incoming RPC calls will be directed to the
servlet subclass itself; or it can be overridden to give finer control over
routing RPC calls within a server framework. (For more details on the
latter, see the RemoteServiceServlet.processCall(String) method.)
Alternatively, GWT RPC can be integrated into an existing framework, by using
the RPC class to perform GWT
RPC decoding, invocation, and encoding. RemoteServiceServlet need not
be subclassed at all in this case, though reading its source is advisable.
Note that the default RemoteServiceServlet implementation never throws
exceptions to the servlet container. All exceptions that escape the the
RemoteServiceServlet.processCall(String)
method will be caught, logged in the servlet context, and will cause a generic
failure message to be sent to the GWT client -- with a 500 status code. To
customize this behavior, override
RemoteServiceServlet.doUnexpectedFailure(java.lang.Throwable).
