We have implemented synchronous calls in our project, but we had to make changes to the source code of GWT and create our own distribution. It has been working well for us, but try and limit its use to short calls to the server that run quickly since it will freeze up all browsers completely except for FF. I did a long test run by putting the server thread to sleep for a minute. All browsers handled this a little differently with IE reporting (Not Responding) until the request returned and Safari actually canceling the request after about 10 seconds.
For these reasons I understand why the GWT team is hesitant if not down right opposed to making this functionality part of the toolkit, but it certainly has made our code cleaner and easier to code and comprehend when it is useful. >From our standpoint it would be nice if this was standard in GWT so I don't need to keep patching every new release of the framework. How many other projects out there using GWT could benefit from this functionality? What does the GWT team think about adding this functionality to the toolkit.
