Heiko Braun works as a Senior Software Engineer at JBoss, a division of Red Hat. He has been involved in both the J2EE and EE5 certification of the JBoss Application server. His recent involvement is more related to JBoss SOA products and BPM solutions in particular, with a strong focus on web based tooling.

In this presentation weʼll see how to organize a nontrivial GWT application. Weʼll go through the lessons learned in a real world project and take a look the complete development lifecycle and best practices that go beyond what GWT has to offer out-of-the-box. This talk does focus on modularity of GWT applications and how to overcome the burdens of compile-time linking. Weʼll talk about client side patterns and server side implementation options and explore different approaches that allow for quick turn around times without sacrificing maintainability.
