I'm currently using Cayenne and GWT. I think the question should be if it is worth it to convert server beans to client beans. Do you really need data objects on client side? With a lack of reflection they cannot be easily used in UI. I think this only produces unneeded convertion. What I do is convert CDOs to JSON on server side, this is done with XML-based descriptions (which look much like json-taglib, but are standalone) and use only JSON-based data on client side. What do you think?
