gwt and php site

I am new to GWT, HTML, javascript...

I am a Java programmer and thus wanting to use GWT on the front end to redesign the site, better performance.

Backend, server is an apache PHP server. There is also a SOAP server on the back end also.

Right the JS calls PHP scripts and that returns HTML.

I want to tie the GWT to the php server and make the php scripts return JSON. Is this a good approach? What other options do I have?

It would be really useful to have the GWT make SOAP calls to the SOAP server. Is this possible? Is it a good option?

Thoughts on this?
