Hey Guys, >From wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaadin "Vaadin utilizes Google Web Toolkit for rendering the resulting web page. While Google Web Toolkit operates only client-side (i.e. a browser's JavaScript engine) – which could lead to trust issues – Vaadin adds server-side validation to all actions. This means that if the client data is tampered with, the server notices this and doesn't allow it."
So its not really a counter to the "threat", its a way to make life "easier" to get into GWT....
