Hi all!

Been lurking for a while now and I like this vibrant community a lot,
so, thank you for that :)

I need to redesign our web app so that it can support IE 7, gecko,
Opera, webkit (one day IE8).
The old one was hand crafted to work only with IE6.

The idea is to use gwt and get coding on business requirements rather
than trying to work around all browsers .. but I have a few question :

Currently we serve dynamic pages and we use ajax just to get
notifications if something changed.
We then recreate the page with the updated content and send it back to
the browser.
Part of this pages is generated via XSLT (on server)
We have our XML data we transform it via xslt with our stylesheet
(xhtml) and we return the new consturcted page.
This styleshee converts our data to all sort of controls : checkboxes,
date pickers, drop down, labels, buttons, etc.
Every "data" page can be bookmarked.

What I would like to do is recreate the web app via GWT, but instead
of retrieving an entire page every time some data
is requested I would prefer to only do an ajax request for the xml and
then to the transformation locally on the client.
I saw someone porting sarissa to GWT so this should be possible.

The only problem is that we embedded quite a few js calls in the
stylesheet, and those now will need to be handled by GWT rather than
the old, IE6 only, js scripts.
I know that gwt compress/obscure the output js to make it faster, so I
wonder, how can I mix the two ? Is it possible ?

Also, if I do everything via ajax/xml, does this mean people can no
longer save link to pages, bookmark them ?

Thanks

Lawrence
