Awesome, thanks for the tips on getting started. It's working well for
me too:

I use this JSNI to get values...

        private native String getUsernameFromHTML()
        /*-{
            return $doc.getElementById("username").value;
        }-*/;

        private native String getPasswordFromHTML()
        /*-{
            return $doc.getElementById("password").value;
        }-*/;

and this to set....

    public static native void submitHiddenLoginForm(String
usernameValue, String passwordValue)
    /*-{
        var userField = $doc.getElementById("username");
        userField.value = usernameValue;

        var passField = $doc.getElementById("password");
        passField.value = passwordValue;

        $doc.getElementById('hiddenLoginFormSubmitButton').click();
   }-*/;
