GPokr: Ajax Poker App
Ryan Dewsbury has written a multiplayer ajax poker application written with GWT.
The front end is written with Java which the google web toolkit compiles to javascript. This is an impressive task that GWT does and so far, even though the toolkit is beta, seems seamless. The front end talks to a java servlet on the backend through an RPC layer on top of XMLHttpRequest. The server sends events back to the clients through the same RPC mechanism so that the players at the table always have an updated rendering.
Watch out Party Poker! :)
