The strategy about how to use the GWT and PlayFramework together

Does it make sense to use Play just for making the main layout, and use GWT-compoments (like # {some_gwt_component}) if it's needed (for example to implelemnt this component with jquery/javascript/html is quite complicated)?

Why I'm asking, because, it开发者_如何转开发 seems, some thinks easy to implement just with html some with gwt.

I can't think that it's a good idea to mix this techniques. Has you seen the post on google-groups? It refers to information about play and gwt.

I wouldn't recomend it, GWT relies in the Servlet model (as far as I remember, I may be wrong) and that doesn't mix well with Play.

Also, on a more personal level, I know GWT is not really recommended by Thoughtworks as a technology (they list several issues with it) and given the technological knowledge of those guys, I usually trust their recommendations. Stay away from GWT :)
