Although your question has (almost) nothing to do with GWT... we're working on a GWT + JavaEE application, and evaluated several alternatives regarding this problem. We had two winners, both of them using of course JPA with Hibernate provider:
1. Use Gilead to transform your persistent entities and send them to GWT 2. Use DTOs, and use Dozer to transform from / to domain objects / entities In our case we chose DTOs / Dozer over Gilead because we favoured layer separation, encapsulation and security over development ease. YMMV Best regards José On 20 mayo, 10:54, Navigateur <naveen.c...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Ah yes!
