Yes, of course you can. That's what my project was used to me. But now I have switched to jetty from tomcat as the default app server in eclipse is jetty. And once in a blue moon, there is some subtle difference between jetty and tomcat which makes it so hard to debug.
GWT is NOT only for front end biz logic. It's also for backend! And to answer your question, you need to be very very careful with hibernate with GWT. It's the most difficult part to deal with. Make sure you have read the following doc from google and pick up the approach you want. http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/articles/using_gwt_with_hibernate.html I am using gilead. But be careful that the instruction on this url is very outdated and doesn't work anymore. Now I'm thinking that I should go back to handcraft DTO as there are much more under my control (but with quite a lot more coding). You don't need tomcat at "desktop mode" as there is no rpc.
