The GWT documentation identifies two classes of server architectures that support GWT-RPC: Simple Client-Server or Multi-Tier Deployment [1]. Pretty intuitive, but it seems to me that there aren't too many examples of the latter out there. Anybody know of any good examples of connecting GWT-RPC to a more comprehensive server? I've been working to connect GWT to a Django back end. I've cobbled together enough to make it work, but I was hoping to see some other implementations as a sanity check.
I also wanted to leave a high level observation...I've been working with GWT for a few months, and I'm surprised at how little focus there is on server organization in the documentation and in this forum. I think that base case of using GWT with a simple java server like Tomcat or App Engine and Hibernate is grossly insufficient for most complex apps. But as a newbie, it takes serious time to identify the relative advantages of the various GWT+server combinations...which makes it difficult to answer the question "should I use GWT in this app?" The lesson: I think a beginner's guide to server organizations would be a really useful blog post or documentation page, if anybody more experienced than me has the time. I think a good reference like that would make it much easier (and more attractive) for people to switch over from the Rails/Django world.
