transitioning from flex to gwt

[Jaggernat]

hi guys

I have been working in adobe flex for the last 3 years and serverside
java for the last 10 years.
Now i have to work with GWT on the UI with java server side.
I want to know the transition process from flex to gwt(if anyone can
help me).

In flex we had datagrids, advanced datagrids, item renderers, event
listeners,
remote calls to java server side(using Bindable,RemoteAlias) which are
some of the features i have used.
Are there equivalent features in gwt?

Any responses will be greatly apprecaited.
thanks.

The documentation of GWT gives a pretty good overview about UI / server communication: https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuide

For a widget overview you can take a look at the Showcase: http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html#!CwCheckBox

You might like to check out Errai and Errai-ui (http://www.jboss.org/errai) from JBoss/Redhat.  It has some libraries for templating, databinding and calls to the server that greatly simplify things.
