Glad that you enjoyed it! But I have since gotten a much cooler haircut...

The only problem with this is that module recombination is limited. Any
installed modules are tightly depended on by the installing module.

This is probably a more flexible choice if you would like to pick and choose
from finer grained module combinations.

This is purely a performance/api tradeoff. I am paranoid about performance
so I would probably return just the fields that the UI absolutely required.
Typically you would create a separate transport class that contains only
those fields.

However, if the object is rarely passed back and latency is not a key
concern then it may be acceptable to use the same class on client and
server.

I am not aware of one, but I can tell you that we make liberal use of
Google's open source technologies like Guice (particularly, Guice Servlet
2.0), GWT, Google Collections and so on.
