Editor persist throws "A request is already in progress "

Question

I'm trying to set up a basic editor in gwt. Everything works fine, the editor displays the data and saves but when I try to save again (i.e. press the save button 2 times) it throws me the error "A request is already in progress " in the second save, but the first time the editor saves the data correctly.

// 
//Methods that edit and save the editor, located in ComposerEditorContainer class 
// 
public void edit(RequestContext requestContext) { 
                editorDriver = GWT.create(Driver.class); 
                editorDriver.initialize(requestFactory, composerEditor); 
                editorDriver.edit(composer, requestContext); 
        } 

public void save() { 
                ComposerRequest composerRequest = (ComposerRequest) editorDriver 
                                .flush(); 
                ComposerProxy newProxy = composerRequest.edit(composer); 
                composerRequest.persist(newProxy).fire(); 
        } 

// 
//Events in a presenter that save and initialize the editor 
// 
                eventBus.addHandler(SaveButtonClickedEvent.TYPE, 
                                new SaveButtonClickedEventHandler() { 
                                        @Override 
                                        public void onSaveButtonClicked(SaveButtonClickedEvent event) { 
                                                ((ComposerEditorContainer) composerEditorContainer) 
                                                                .save(); 
                                        } 
                                }); 
//This method gets the ComposerProxy from the event and initializes the editor in ComposerEditorContainer (above)
// 
                eventBus.addHandler(BrowserItemClickedEvent.TYPE, 
                                new BrowserItemClickedEventHandler() { 
                                        @Override 
                                        public void onBrowserItemClicked( 
                                                        BrowserItemClickedEvent event) { 
                                                requestFactory = GWT.create(AppRequestFactory.class);

                                                                .getclickedItem().getValue()); 
                                                req.fire(new Receiver<ComposerProxy>() {

                                                                view.addWidget(editorContainer); 
                                                                composerEditorContainer = editorContainer; 
                                                        }

A RequestContext is a "builder"; you queue things into it and then fire(). Once fire()d, it's no longer usable; you have to create a new one and start over.
