Re: GWT v2.1 MVP, STS/ROO, JDO, Objectify & App Engine

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the kudos. I have limited understanding of Roo, but I
believe you can modify the code generation templates to use any data
access layer you like. Having said that, your particular use case will
be much easier in the next GWT point release as we plan to add
RequestFactory support for @Embedded objects and support for DAO
classes.

I know that Roo uses a modular architecture and the Expenses sample
app uses the Roo addon-gwt and addon-jpa modules, but for any more
detail than that, you'll probably want to ping the Roo forum.

HTH,
