to me it's no surprise, that you don't get answers to a post like this

here's my very personal opinion and I assure you, it's meant to help
and not to offend you

my opinion after reading your post is

1st impression: your not looking for answers to your questions, but
for someone who will write the app. for you

2nd impression:  you didn't really read the docs and try simple
examples of whatever technology you use.
because storing and retrieving data from whatever datastore you use
is a very basic thing to do and I can't imagine that the specific
documentation of your datastore-product does not provide information
or basic examples about this.

so what I suggest:
 * read the docs
 * try some examples
 * provide detailed information
   e.g. what technology are you using?
   GWT, GAE, HIbernate, JPA, JDO, Spring, ...?
   how do you transfer data from the server to the client?
   RPC, JSON, ...?
 * provide specific questions about small problems and maybe
   even include source-code or an errormessage
