Thanks for the reply. Having read through the deferred binding I can see how it can be useful on the client side to determine whether the normal/demo is loaded.
However, whats bothering me more is how to determine this on the server side. I guess this is not exactly specific to GWT. Say I have my application compiled and deployed from a WAR file. What approach can I take to "tell" the server side code to use the demo workflow and logic? If I can do this, then the client can also determine what mode to run in using a simple GWT-RPC call.
