This model has a number of major strengths. But one weakness is that is not common, so it is not immediately familiar to developers. The interaction pattern can seem a little mysterious even with Google's doc set, debugging tools, etc. It gets more interesting when you consider that you might also be generating the original pages (the ones with AJAX interactions on them) via Java. (GWT does not require a dynamic page generation scheme at all, and can use static HTML.) In order to make this clearer, I wrote a sequence diagram which I'm posting because it may be valuable to other developers getting their heads around GWT.
The diagram shows three interactions. First, I'm generating my initial pages using the FreeMarker templating system. There are lots of other ways (like JSP for example). But here I'm using FreeMarker. This all takes place before GWT gets involved in the pages.
Next, I show how the GWT scripting gets running and loads the page specific code which will rewrite the DOM. At the end of this, the page is rendered the way the user will see it in the browser.
Last, I show how an AJAX interaction flows, including a call to an external web service on the back end -- e.g., if there is a "Load My Favorites" button on the page that results in a call to an external service and asynchronously returns with data to bind into the DOM.
I hope it's helpful. If I've left anything key out, let me know.
