Rich clients should have three independent parts: - Browser/Client interface - Middleware - Database/Storage BrowserMiddleware are separate parts that communicate with HTTP/JSon preferably REST like. SQL and Browser are familiar concepts, so should not be abstracted by GWT or ORM (or Corba or Soap). Middleware should not do too much. See WSGI, Rack and JSGI understand this (http://jackjs.org/jsgi-spec.html) See also http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2010/01/02/Doing-It-Wrong Objects should be used for complex compositions not to abstract http, html or database. Applets were never a good user experience In my opinion Java / MVC approach is the wrong abstraction.
