Datasource SmartGWT Tuning Tutorial

Question

I am looking for a good tutorial on how to set up a DataSource in SmartGWT (sample code will also be executed for now).

Some details:
I have a GWT project that uses a proprietary client-server protocol to collect data (with an extensive API based on GWT classes). The server is not based on GWT, i.e. GWT is used only for the client side.
I would like to use SmartGWT widgets with this data, creating my own DataSource, which will interact with the existing GWT infrastructure.

Does anyone know about such a resource?

EDIT:

Charles Kendrick's answer worked for me.

For an example of working code, you can see this .

You do this with transformRequest and transformResponse overrides - see the documentation of these methods for an overview:
