With SmartGWT you can represent a data structure as a DataSource. A
DataSource can be tied to any kind of data provider - not just
different JPA implementers but also WSDL web services, REST services,
non-JPA persistence systems like Ibatis, etc. The persistence engine
is pluggable, so you can swap strategies, even swap platforms (eg Java
to PHP backend) without changing the UI.
With SmartGWT Pro you can generate SQL tables or Hibernate entities
from a DataSource, or vice versa, that is, generate a DataSource from
existing SQL tables or Hibernate entities. Then you can just drag the
DataSource onto a grid component and you've got the ability to do CRUD
operations without writing any code, and you can add business logic
from there.
Probably the best single overview is here:
