Extend example to show invoking endpoint on backend and returning data

[richiethom]

Thanks for the example, it's very interesting!

It'd be very good to be able to see the RWT application invoking an endpoint on the Spring Boot application, eg press a button to return a hard-coded list of results.

If you'd like me to do this let me know but I'd probably need a few pointers first!

Hi @richiethom,

sorry for the late reply.

Since the RWT Java-code is running completely server-side, there is no real magic involved in returning a hard-coded list of results. Not sure but what you probably refer to is to invoke a Spring service or bean that is injected in the view object? Adding some IoC dependency injection examples is already proposed in #1. So these issues can probably be merged.

Cheers,
Ben
