I recently dealt with a similar issue.  In my case I wanted to create
a js gui while still being able to support scriptless browsers.
(Additionally, I wanted to make the application accessible via SOAP.)

Since you already have a spring controller, the most readily available
option of which I can think is to use your JSP(s) to convert the model
into JSON.  The GWT API supports JSON, and it shouldn't require you to
change any server-side code.

If you choose to use GWT's RPC, I can't think of a way to access the
spring controller's model, but you can continue to use it to support
scriptless client-side environments.  However, you can have the
controller use the GWT RPC interface and server-side implementation
class to retrieve the model using DI, which is what I did.
(Additionally, I annotated the interface to be a web service, so the
interface and it's implementation are pulling triple duty.)
