Description Ralf Sternberg

Custom components may need to synchronize properties using custom JSON, e.g. a mixed array or nested object. At the moment, RemoteObject.set() accepts only some basic types.

I think we should publish the new JSON API (currently in o.e.rap.rwt.internal.json) and provide a method RemoteObject.set( String, JsonValue ).

Also for the client-to-server case we'd need a solution.

The new JSON API has moved to the public package org.eclipse.rap.json. As of 09f7c9542a5dc28d8b2b4f2ef8b73d35d7f83465, RemoteObject has a method set( String, JsonValue ) and call( String, JsonObject ). The Map types in OperationHandler have been replaced with JsonObject as well.

With this change, the API in the remote package is not marked as "provsional" anymore.
