Suri, PagingScrollTable gets data from a TableModel using a Request/Callback mechanism similar to RPC. The simplest way to get that data from the server would be to implement TableModel and have onRequest() invoke an RPC service. The RPC AsyncCallback's onSuccess() would call the table Callback's onRowsReady().
