Pack as much as possible in the shared code, that is, to the extent
the emulated JRE admits of. Have helper classes in your server side
for database etc and in your client side for UI. This is close to
developing a client-server application in java swing. The emulated JRE
has nice java.util.Collection which is handy for domain modelling, UI
handling and persistence. I think this is not only a simple way of
developing but also maximally takes advantage of GWT.
