Thanks for the tip on the on the issue number.  I confess, I don't really
understand the super-source solution, or even how it actually solves the
problem.

I've resigned myself to know that I'll never be able to build a data-object
for the client and then subclass that for the server side because most of
our server side objects already inherit from other classes and often have
logging components, authentication checks, etc. that would make it pretty
complicated.  Maybe the server-only option is too complicated to implement
sanely, but it sure seemed alluring that the client code would be written in
Java and we'd get some real cross-benefits, but I think it's more myth than
reality regarding how these can be shared/reused, which is a shame when you
consider the various data validations (required/or not, min/max
lengths/values, legal characters, etc.) even for simple data objects end up
being duplicated, one for the client side and the other for the server side.

The one upside of JSP/servlet is that there was no client-side, but now
we're moving back to the days of needing two distinct apps, one written for
the client, and the other written for the server.  I really like GWT, but
wish more of these could somehow have been handled more auto-magically
<smile>.
