GWT RequestFactory vs GWTP Actions

I am developing a GWT app using GWTP (Model-View-Presenter) that is deployed to GAE. Persistence will be done using Google Cloud SQL.

I am not sure what to use to send data to the database (persistence) and request data: GWT RequestFactory or GWTP Actions. Are they equivalent? What are benefits of each one for this scenario?

Thanks

  • For a data-oriented app (CRUD), you should definitely use RF because it has been designed for that purpose. Now if your app is more action-oriented and these actions does not involve much data, it’s better to use the Command pattern. But nothing prevents you from using both in your app.
