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/).
