How to resend a GWT RequestFactory request

Question

Is it possible to resend a RequestFactory transmission? I'd like to do the equivalent of this: How to resend a GWT RPC request when using RequestFactory. It is fairly simple to resend the same payload from a previous request, but I also need to place a call to the same method. Here's my RequestTransport class, and I am hoping to just "refire" the original request after taking care of, in this case, a request to the user for login credentials:

package org.greatlogic.rfexample2.client;

import com.google.gwt.http.client.Request;
import com.google.gwt.http.client.RequestBuilder;
import com.google.gwt.http.client.RequestCallback;
import com.google.gwt.http.client.Response;
import com.google.web.bindery.requestfactory.gwt.client.DefaultRequestTransport;
/**
 * Every request factory transmission will pass through the single instance of this class. This can
 * be used to ensure that when a response is received any global conditions (e.g., the user is no
 * longer logged in) can be handled in a consistent manner.
 */
public class RFERequestTransport extends DefaultRequestTransport {
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
private IClientFactory _clientFactory;
//==================================================================================================
private final class RFERequestCallback implements RequestCallback {
private RequestCallback _requestCallback;
private RFERequestCallback(final RequestCallback requestCallback) {
  _requestCallback = requestCallback;
} // RFERequestCallback()
@Override
public void onError(final Request request, final Throwable exception) {
  _requestCallback.onError(request, exception);
} // onError()
@Override
public void onResponseReceived(final Request request, final Response response) {
  if (response.getStatusCode() == Response.SC_UNAUTHORIZED) {
    _clientFactory.login();
  }
  else {
    _clientFactory.setLastPayload(null);
    _clientFactory.setLastReceiver(null);
    _requestCallback.onResponseReceived(request, response);
  }
} // onResponseReceived()
} // class RFERequestCallback
//==================================================================================================
@Override
protected void configureRequestBuilder(final RequestBuilder builder) {
  super.configureRequestBuilder(builder);
} // configureRequestBuilder()
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Override
protected RequestCallback createRequestCallback(final TransportReceiver receiver) {
  return new RFERequestCallback(super.createRequestCallback(receiver));
} // createRequestCallback()
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void initialize(final IClientFactory clientFactory) {
  _clientFactory = clientFactory;
} // initialize()
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Override
public void send(final String payload, final TransportReceiver receiver) {
  String actualPayload = _clientFactory.getLastPayload();
  TransportReceiver actualReceiver;
  if (actualPayload == null) {
    actualPayload = payload;
    actualReceiver = receiver;
    _clientFactory.setLastPayload(payload);
    _clientFactory.setLastReceiver(receiver);
  }
  else {
    actualReceiver = _clientFactory.getLastReceiver();
  }
  super.send(actualPayload, actualReceiver);
} // send()
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
}

Based upon Thomas' suggestion I tried sending another request, and just replaced the payload and receiver in the RequestTransport.send() method, and this worked; I guess there is no further context retained by request factory, and that the response from the server is sufficient for RF to determine what needs to be done to unpack the response beyond the request and response that are returned to the RequestCallback.onResponseReceived() method. If anyone is interested in seeing my code then just let me know and I'll post it here.
