1. Jedną z alternatyw do GWT jest ICfaces (na bazie JSP) - http://www.icefaces.org//main/land/sdt01.jsp. Jak każda szanująca się technologia zawiera wiele komponentów GUI (i nie tylko), ponieważ po to wymyślono AJAX. Rywalem do niej jest tandem GWT i Ext JS, może też i komponenty Yahoo. Idea takiego tandemu jest prosta: My (Java) wysyłamy Im (przeglądarce Internetowej) kod, który Oni mają uruchomić u siebie. Jakość kodu jest ważna, więc po co tworzyć go od nowe lepiej wykorzystać istniejące komponenty (frameworki) w JS.

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
