GWT RequestFactory - adding custom methods to proxy classes?

Is is possible to add a method to GWT RequestFactory's proxy class? Let's say I have this:

@ProxyFor(value = MyEntity.class)
interface MyEntityProxy extends EntityProxy {
  String getData(); // got it on server side
}

GetData() is backed at server side, that's fine. What if I'd like to add a method like this:

@ProxyFor(value = MyEntity.class)
interface MyEntityProxy extends EntityProxy {
  String getData(); // got it on server side
  String getDataAndAppendQwerty(); // want this one on client side
}

I want to manually implement getDataAndAppendQwerty(). It's 100% client-side code and the question is just where should I put the implementation.

Solution

  • The answer would be AutoBean categories, but they're not (yet) surfaced in RequestFactory.
