u will have to go through the server to gelocate the IP. For example if u are using MaxMind Geo data (.dat or .csv), u have java apis to search the MaxMind DB. (Lite version is available for download on MaxMind site).
Using GWT-RPC or RequestBuilder you can then query the server to give you the location, which in turn will use the gelocation apis(mentioned above) on the server to give u the location and send it back to the UI. Purely client side, i think will have to use a public geolocation service that can talk JSONP or XML.Keep in mind the cross-site XHR issues. Thanks, Subhro.
