Hi Neeraj,
The answer to how to integrate GWT with your existing Spring MVC Web
Application depends on how deeply you want to integrate GWT into your
application.
For example, if you would simply like to add a few GWT components to your
application pages, all you would need to do is define an binding element
(such as a <div id="gwtComponent"></div>) in the page you would like to
include your GWT component as well as a <script> tag referencing the GWT
bootstrap JavaScript file.
In your GWT code, you would bind your component to the <div> by calling
RootPanel.get("gwtComponent").add(mainPanel), for example.
On the other hand, if you would like your user interface to be fully built
with GWT as well as have easy client-server interactions going through your
Spring controllers, a Google search for the terms "gwt spring" should turn
up some useful results.
If you the level of integration you're aiming for is somewhere in between
the two extremes described above, perhaps you should consider using GWT RPC
for client-server communication and using the RPC servlets as gateways to
your Spring controllers.

Hope that helps,
