Stable .rpc files

Hi there,

are there any chances to get stable .rpc files in upcoming releases? I remember that the images generated by imagebundle had stable filenames across compiles, somehow dependent from images hashcode.

I have seen comments here and there praising "rest" or "autobeans+requestbuilder", 

but neither one of the approaches provide polymorphism and as far as I know both would have troubles with object cycles.

IMHO, rest or auto beans are wrong for client-server on so many levels that I stopped counting. I am expecting a flame war on this statement, but I am very convinced that none of them do really solve issues I have in client-server communication in product development.

I am using the command pattern and very happy to have with multiple versions, batching, recording, reuse, central exception handling, etc. 

I have a plain pojo communication model, and gwt-rpc simply gets things done pretty well. Unfortunately, the .rpc files are not stable - and they are the last mile for me to have real zero downtime deployments.

I even do export my dispatch service as httpinvoker/ exporter and can reuse the same communication layer for pure java clients. I have a proprietary http/json converter in a servlet for my iOS app. But this is another story and does not have the issues I have on the GWT side with the .rpc files.

I am willing to switch at any moment, all I need is a GWT-RPC replacement that handles 

<R extends Result> R execute(Action<R> action) throws DispatchException;

properly. It would take me no time to change, all communication runs over pojis/ pojos.

Any suggestions?

brgds,

Papick
