I'm not very familiar with GWT. Can you elaborate on what these incompatibilities are?

Hi Thomas,
This blog post maybe of interest:
http://martintaal.wordpress.com/2012/04/05/emf-texo-json-rest-web-service-support-connecting-your-client-to-an-emf-supporting-web-server/
I am myself currently working on a Sencha Touch client side which communicates with the server generated by Texo.

And to add to it.. Texo also provides a EMFJSONResource which communicates with the backend Texo JSON Server. Not sure,
but maybe you can use the EMFJSONResource in EMF-GWT to. Or maybe it is easy to create a specific EMF-GWT JSON resource.
If this is of interest let me know, maybe we can cooperate on this.

Hi Tom,
If you have changes to the EMFJSONResource or can implement a generic EMF-GWT JSON connector resource then the approach
is to create a bugzilla on texo and attach your code/patch to it. We can discuss it then in the bugzilla.
I am always interested to add these type of things to Texo.

I see. CDO needs the emf.ecore.xmi plugin only for one specific purpose: A client serializes all new packages to XMI and
sends the resulting text to the server, which only stores it so that other clients that don't have the original packages
deployed can use it to build a dynamic model. If all clients always have all models deployed in generated form then CDO
wouldn't need XMI at all. If there are no other blockers we could think about how to factor the XMI dependency out of
the CDO core plugins.
