Most C2B apps need to be crawlable. Though google search has a hard-to- implement way to do this, a hybrid approach will work best: traditional page generation for the "read only" pages and gwt for certain "editors". gwt's lack of data binding & field validation make programming editors inconvenient. (gwt 2.1 has cell binding. To use it for form fields, it appears one needs to use tables instead of forms. smart-gwt has sophisticated binding & ext-gwt has some. The gwt google group hasn't been complementary about these. I tried smart-gwt briefly but realized a license & support would be very expensive.) gwt is appealing when client-side processing is preferable to many server round-trips.
