It is a stated goal to *not* be bound to JPA https://wave.google.com/wave/waveref/googlewave.com/w+WU4iAICkI """Back end agnosticism: nothing in RequestFactory directly depends upon JPA or any other persistence framework""" It is true that Spring Roo generates JPA entities, but RequestFactory isn't limited to working with JPA, we're doing some work using MongoDB (with Morphia) on the backend, no JPA involved. -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
