When one creates a "New GWT Remote Service" a nice App class is added to the RemoteService implementation. This App class template can be improved with the following version: public static class App { private static final MyServiceAsync _I = (MyServiceAsync) GWT.create(MyService.class); static { String url = GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "package.name/MyService"; ((ServiceDefTarget) _I).setServiceEntryPoint(url); } public static MyServiceAsync get() { return _I; } } This template has several advantages: 1. instance is never checked for null state. This is a bit faster, plus it removes the unnecessary 'synchronized' modifier. 2. initializer is in static {} block, which is run when the class is loaded for the first time. 3. Class Init code is deleted in GWT JS code after it has been run once.
