Serialization of ContentPanel

[ror]

I am creatin object of


public class Content extends ContentPanel implements Serializable {
Content(){
}
//some other stuff
}

but GWT compilers give me message:

Type 'pl.testPackage.client.UIManagment.Content' was not serializable and has no concrete serializable subtypes


Is imposible to create part of gui on server and then with RPC send to client when I need this part?

[ror]

"in some other stuff" I use a class which didn't implement a serialization. I erase all body of class, and create empty definition with empty, non parameter constructor. Now I have Http error 500.

'pl.testPackage.client.UIManagment.Content' looks like it is your own code - if any serializable object has non-(transient|final|static) fields, they too must be serializable.

A better idea would be to build model objects that accuratly describe what you are trying to save, and have methods to turn them into layout, and layout into models on your save and restore calls.

Thanks for reply, I test some other trick and I also think that ContentPanel have some element that it can't be serialized. As you say only good solution is creating GUI dynamic in client and get from server parameters that we need.
