Thanks for your feedback. As an enterprise webapp, I don't need cross- domain capabilities. I would also like to only design one API if I can...and SOAP is a better fit for our application than REST. Finally I am concerned that GWT-RPC would be too granular, too chatty and result in a UI that is too coupled to our domain model.
