I'm trying to sel the use of GWT to a very large, very conservative
private equity company, and while they are big fans of Google, they
are wary of any new technology - including GWT.
If it were possible for me to point to a Google application or
reference a web site that is known to use GWT, that would be big help.

its is also being used as an internal web app program at ottocap.
I am rewriting the backend from php to use jsp now because php is easy
to use but causes some problems in being able to tell difference
between null and "" and 0

Users can upload photos of their clothes and show where they were
bought on a map. We are using a number of external GWT libraries, e.g.
the Maps API, Rocket GWT and Drag-n-drop.

When you're looking at adopting GWT, I think it's important to realize
why Google created GWT. It's great to see that GWT has traction within
Google with things like Google Health, but it's a bit different than
the traditional 'eat your own dog food' test, since the whole reason
GWT was created was to be eaten, not to be sold. This is a good thing.
Unlike Flex & Silverlight, Google's plan for making money off GWT
isn't by charging users in some fashion. They're not making any money
off you. Which isn't to say this is purely altruistic. They are going
to make money from GWT. They're going to make money because they'll be
able to develop better applications, quicker. Google created GWT
because they want to be on the cutting edge of web 2.0 design, but
they found that even with all the great engineers at google, big
javascript apps get out of control and were too costly to maintain,
too difficult to change. GWT is their attempt to rectify this and as
always, software designed to fix a specific problem turns out to be
better than software built to address a nebulous 'market'.
Making GWT open source means more users, which makes GWT better. This
increases the value of GWT to Google and has the happy side effect of
us getting to use GWT.
I am the lead developer on Lombardi's Blueprint application which is
about 75,000 lines of GWT Java code plus more for the server-side code
and it is being used by thousands of customers around the world. We
will actually be giving a talk titled "Using GWT to build a high
performance collaborative diagramming tool" at the Google I/O
developer conference next week and I'm sure we can make the slides
available to you after the presentation.
I would happy to answer any questions you might have about how we used GWT to build Blueprint and you're welcome to email me at
damon.lun...@lombardi.com.
You can also check out Blueprint for yourself at http://blueprint.lombardi.com.
We offer free accounts to anyone interested so you or anyone else
reading is welcome to request one and check out what GWT is capable of
doing.

Our CAMERA project has a very large site using GWT to do DNA analysis
(but there's also a lot of standard informational displays and some
forms). Our site has been in production well over a year. We started
with GWT 1.0.21 and are now running 1.5 (pre-RC1 no less) in
production.
Go to http://camera.calit2.net (which is not GWT) and click on the
Research menu button. After logging in (you'll need to create an
account), everything in the Research section is GWT (except the
header).
We have a new release coming in a few weeks with more functionality,
including a full-GWT header and a cool dynamic search page with charts

http://riflethru.com/ is an eBay search application that I am working
on. It uses 1.4.61 on the front-end, about 35,000 lines of code across
the main and mobile clients. The back-end is running Apache/AxKit
turning XML into JSON, and the front-end also talks directly to eBay
using their Shopping API for live results.
The main point of the site is to be a faster eBay search experience.
It is running a working feature set and best described as being post
alpha, pre beta with some features still in the pipeline.
This post is effectively the first public announcement of the site as
it coincides with a WordPress installation and a first blog post at
http://riflethru.com/blog/. I am therefore soliciting feedback from a
GWT audience which I am sure spans a good cross-section of eBay users/
non-users and eBay lovers/despisers alike, all with a good eye for a
webapp.
I would also like to give IE a mention, as I am sure it touches many
people in many ways, just as it has been a part of my professional
life since its existence. Although the application runs consistently
across standards-compatible browsers, I did have to spend considerable
time bug fixing where IE had decided to be behave differently.
A key point about GWT is the cross-browser aspect and I obviously had
little choice but to nail each and every bug that it threw up. I was
faced with IE processes hanging without reason, and rendering that
was, well you probably already know. Nevertheless, I would have been
far worse off programming this without GWT and it ended up taking me
longer to dig out a Windows box than to fix each problem. While it now
runs in any supported browser, I do find that IE Javascript-intensive
processing is noticeable slower compared to other browsers, beaten
only by the iPhone with its inferior CPU. Take that, Bill and Steve.
David, riflethru looks *really* nice. Great work. You clearly have a knack for UI and usability. When you're ready for some traffic, you should let Ajaxian know about it.

I hope PHP's comparisons "problems" are not the only argument you have
for rewriting all your code from PHP to JSP, as you can simply change
== to === (and != to !== as well) in order to make "" to be different
from 0 or null (it's widely documented in php.net's function list and
language reference). There are some good arguments for migrating from
PHP to Java (like the lack of a good free IDE/debugger/profiler/etc)
but value comparison is really not a valid one.
Best regards,
Vitor.
