Re: What Major Companies Use GWT???

Most C2B apps need to be crawlable. Though google search has a hard-to-
implement way to do this, a hybrid approach will work best:
traditional page generation for the "read only" pages and gwt for
certain "editors". gwt's lack of data binding & field validation make
programming editors inconvenient. (gwt 2.1 has cell binding. To use it
for form fields, it appears one needs to use tables instead of forms.
smart-gwt has sophisticated binding & ext-gwt has some. The gwt google
group hasn't been complementary about these. I tried smart-gwt briefly
but realized a license & support would be very expensive.) gwt is
appealing when client-side processing is preferable to many server
round-trips.
