Re: Re-firing a failed/rejected server call in RequestFactory, is this possible?

Is there any progress on this issue?

Issue https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=5794 is related and is not fixed either.

RF's behaviour in this regard is inconsistent since an "unimportant" retrieval would fail on any ConstraintViolation

in batched requests. It should definitely be possible to batch requests but the current API is not sufficient.

A recommendation would be to pull batching out of the RequestContext interface and expose it in e.g. a RequestContextBatcher.

A RequestContext is used for one request only and is reusable on failure or violation. Thus removing append(), fire(Receiver), etc.

RequestContextBatcher is used for multiple requests.

The specific behaviour in onFailure and onViolation should be discussed further.

Transaction settings might make it necessary for all RequestContexts to be re-executed or to only re-execute the failed/violating requests.

Therefore it must allow customization by the user.

RF invocations are batched in a single HTTP request, but there's no implied transaction. You're free to use a transaction-per-HTTP-request scheme, or a transaction-per-invocation one (or no transaction at all). So when an invocation fail, RF doesn't assume the whole batch can be sent again.

BTW, batching things in a single HTTP request is a network optimization (less HTTP requests => better overall performance). You'd want to batch an important data update with an "unimportant" retrieval; and you wouldn't want a failing unimportant retrieval to make the important update fail as well.
