We're developing an app using play framework for the backend (with Restful services), and GWT in the client . We want to call Restful services from GWT. Can we use RestyGWT just to build the request and get JSON?
I have read the RestyGWT documentation (http://restygwt.fusesource.org/documentation/restygwt-user-guide.html) but I don't have all clear, because we don't need build Restful service, just call them from client.
Thanks in advance.
I think in your case you can use two feature of RestyGWT:
Calling Restful web services which developed using Play Framework, see this part of documentations.
Manipulating JSON objects in your GWT application using RestyGWT API for encoding and decoding Java Object to JSON, see this part of documentations.

Is there any complete step-by-step guide or material available on how to use SOAP API in Play Framework with Scala?
I have seen people post about scalaxb but couldn't find any guide on how exactly to use it. Any recommendation/link/repositroy will be helpful.
P.S: I cannot use REST API because it's client's requirement to use SOAP and it CANNOT be changed. I have WSDL of the service I am supposed to interact with.
I'm creating a web application containing RESTful webservices and I was wondering how I can properly integrate HDIV with this part of my webapp.
For now, I'm defining each webservice URL as startPage:
<hdiv:startPages>/ws/ws1,/ws/ws2,...</hdiv:startPages>
Is there a way to change that? does <hdiv:startPages>/ws/*</hdiv:startPages> or something like that exists?
You can use Java patterns to define start pages:
<hdiv:startPages>/ws/.*</hdiv:startPages>
Anyway, you can try Spring HATEOAS and Hdiv's experimental integration to securize the REST services.
I have my restful CXF service producing JSON with default JSON provider. I want to know if we can use GWT to build client which will user the restful service. Will it work ? If not, what would be a simple work around for this type ?
Thank you.

It will work. See this. Here's a quote:
GWT does not limit you to this one RPC mechanism or server side development environment. You are free to integrate with other RPC mechanisms, such as JSON using the GWT supplied RequestBuilder class, JSNI methods or a third party library.
I'm looking to develop a blackberry application to consume a RESTful service. At the moment we plan to develop a REST layer which we will use to perform searches on a back end database and return the results as JSON.
I have used the Jersey framework ( http://jersey.java.net/ ) for consuming (and developing) REST layers in the past.
This is the first time we plan to develop such an app for a blackberry. From looking around I'm not sure if jersey is supported on the blackberry for consuming RESTful services.
So I'm wondering could someone offer some advice (on jersey or any other purpose built JARs) for using RESTful services on Blackberry? Otherwise we will have to build from scratch the code for consuming the RESTFul service. Or even use SOAP which I prefer not to have to do if possible.
Thanks,
John
Take a look at the JSON.org website, they have lib in Java to parse JSON data(I'v manage to make it work for BlackBerry without to much modifications.
The only thing left to do is a connection to the web service by passing the parameter you need to it. And then parse the response with the JSON lib to rebuild your data model in your native client.
And please don't use SOAP for mobile application.
Please read RIM doc for socket
You can use a httpConnection too
Is there any way how I can access a web service from GWT using its WSDL? Previously I was trying to use the generated classes from ws-import.... but then someone pointed out to me that GWT cannot handle all Java, just a subset of it, hence it won't understand the ws-import classes.
Thanks and regards,

GWT can access web services using a RequestBuilder, which makes HTTP calls to a service and then gets access to its response.
Since your web service is using SOAP, the response you get in your RequestBuilder's callback will be XML. Parse that XML to find the information you're interested in, and you're good to go.
In our project we were using Axis Client to make SOAP Web Service Call(WSDL Driven). We had use the inbuild plug tool provided by the WTP/ AXIS Webservice in Spring Source Tool to create the client using provided WSDL. We had use the same client code to incorporate with GWT and everything works fine.
