We, at Pathfinder Associates, have started using GWT in one of our

Facebook applications. Considering the heavy Ajax functionality that

our application needs and that most folks on team are strong java

developers, I guess GWT is the way to go (from amongst DWR,

Scriptaculous and other available).



On pain point however is the strict directory structure that GWT

enforces. It is possible to change the directory structure but trying

to change directory structure while preserving the ability to run GWT

app in both hosted and deployed mode and being able to Unit Test has

been a challenge.



We are planning to do a presentation on GWT and Facebook app sometime


in December or early next year.




Thanks,

If there is anybody out there who is doing facebook app development in

Java, we are interesting in some thought exchange.

Echo2 is a better alternative for Java developers, since you
are not  
restricted to just using a subset for Java for the
front-end.  You  
can develop the web front end in much the same fashion as
you would a  
Swing application (that includes reflection, auto binding
etc).

As I understand it, Echo2 operates on the server side, rather than GWT's approach of translating to client-side JavaScript at compile-time.  Therefore your Echo2 Java code is not limited to a translatable subset of Java, but on the downside it generates a lot of chatter between the client and server.  Not necessarily a bad thing, but it depends on your needs.  I wouldn';t really say it's a "better alternative" across the board.
