How would you compare your approach for GWT with the way Opentaps does it? Does GWT integration require a lot of tightly coupled Java objects? We have a project where we introduced some GWT elements, and the way we did it required us to create a lot of DTOs, which is really a giant step away from the nice abstract Map idea that OFBiz uses to represent entities, parameter lists, and pretty much all other data. I would love to see an example of this OFBiz-GWT project that gets data from the OFBiz delegator, dispatcher, or both. The Screen/Form/Menu rendering is interesting, and it's good that it extends the OFBiz template macros for a consistent approach, but it is hard for me to see how you get OFBiz data into this presentation. It's especially hard for me to see how the data integration will work considering the inversion of the request-response cycle that happens when you use AJAX. I'm going to experiment with your project and try to answer these questions for myself, but if someone else has worked through it, it would be great to hear a clear explanation and see some examples. -- James McGill Phoenix AZ
