Will do. My approach would involve distinct proxies since I don't think RF allows for inheritance on EntityProxys even if they both have @proxyfor defined because it looks for the methods defined exactly on the proxy (it definitely won't currently let you do it server-side with your locators). This is the only drawback I can see using this approach since you'd have to redefine fields that would be granted with inheritance. But I'll definitely give both a try again.

Inheritance of proxies works well; RequestFactory even supports polymorphism (o in your case you'll want to test which exact proxy RF returns, and possibly split the common properties out to an interface used as the super-interface for 2 distinct, unrelated proxies)

What won't work currently are generics and overrides with co-variant return types (see https://gwt-review.googlesource.com/#/c/3831/2/user/test/com/google/web/bindery/requestfactory/gwt/client/RequestFactoryGenericsTest.java for a "gory" test), but it otherwise works very well.

BTW, see "Polymorphic type-mapping rules" in http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideRequestFactory.html#transportable

And I'd even say that not only this is a supported use-case, it's actually the approach I'd recommend.
