I think this is a very good approach to writing GWT apps, we've been using it in our current project. Have a GWT based View coupled to a POJO Model (that can be JPA annotated to boot). We also put a thin Controller in between for additional functionality like validation. We will be wiring everything together with Google GIN (Guice in GWT: http://code.google.com/p/google-gin/). -- Arthur Kalmenson On Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 5:29 PM, lukehashj <[email protected]> wrote: > > Arthur, > Way to keep your cool against that flamer!
