Currently, our application is a typical client-server application where both parts can not work independently. We had been thinking to spit application on client and server part in order to allow users to use our application using java script (for example something like google maps) without installing huge heavy server site. It is quite difficult because of many dependencies between server and client side (especially gwt events and so on).
We are looking for further ideas in order to improve modularity in out application.
The next problem with gwt is this that we are using some not very popular components like openlayers where we can not count on huge gwt support. The problem is that we can not use many interesting javascript librarys because thay are not wrapped into gwt. Using pure javascript code in gwt project seems to be not elegant, but may right is to create some own wrapers. I think at least we need to discuss it end establish approach and convention
