If i  understand what you mean,  you want to repopulate the grid everytime
the data are updated in the backend right ?

I think Blase DS does not support pushing Data to the client. Atleast not
the  free version.

A solution could be to set up a timer that will  poll data from the backend
every 5s ?
I think  you can do that  in as3

Dont get me wrong i dont want to keep you from using GWT, i just think that
in your case there is a solution that is more effcient and esay to maintain
then using GWT. But if you dont mind having some overhead  plus a  language
explosion (MXML/AS3, JS, Java)  and architecture problem in your project. I
can tell you what our first solution to solve this type of problem was
