GWT has a bug that prevents it from being use with Restlet. The Restlet framework has direct support for both Appengine, as a service provider, and GWT as a client. However, a bug added to GWT since 1.7 makes it impossible to use GWT with a restlet server if you want to use XML representations. It may may work fine with JSON. Here is the reference to the issue tracker; http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=4267. If you want GWT to be fully compatible with Restlet (which is an excellent package), please go and star this issue.
