Ext GWT 3.0 State API
The Ext GWT 3.0 State API provides the ability to persist state information. The API supports saving state data to different persistence providers. These include providers based on cookies and HTML5 local storage. The data are saved and retrieved as a map from string keys to string values.

This data is retrieved asynchronously, and this allows for asynchronous providers such as those that communicate via RPC.
