This article will show how to build a SOA-based system using Spring Services, a GWT client to talk to those services, and Maven 2 as a build tool to hold it altogether. There is also an associated reference project, created here at Shine Technologies and now open-sourced on Google Code using the Apache 2 License.
This article will start by covering the setup of a build environment using Maven. Then we'll start working through each of the layers in sequence, beginning with getting up-and-running with a compatible Spring Service layer. Next we'll add a bridge between GWT and the Spring Services. Finally, we'll introduce a GWT client that can attach to the bridging layer and thus communicate with the Spring services.
