Hi John, For live connections to SQL, Hibernate and other data providers see the SmartGWT Pro/EE showcase:
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwtee/showcase/ As well as Sanjiv's blog on SmartGWT Pro/EE, which is the link I meant to post before: http://www.jroller.com/sjivan/entry/introduction_to_smartgwt_enterprise_edition Note that the SmartGWT non-Pro/EE showcase shows clientOnly DataSources, but as I mentioned, DataSources are pluggable/swappable. Every interaction you see in the SmartGWT showcase with a clientOnly DataSource also works with SQL, Hibernate or custom DataSource in SmartGWT EE.
