We do that.
It does not mean it is mandatory for qooxdoo, it is just a possible software
architecture.
Rather than XML we are using JSON serialization.deserialization.
This Java module is an open source code (we're just waiting for some legal
answer from qooxdoo).
The benefit come from the fact JSON is native in Javascript (JSON stand for
JavaScript Object Notation).
On a qooxdoo point of view, our backend is just transparent by providing JSON
stream from and back to qooxodo front end.

We are using IntelliJ for all our code, both qooxdoo frontend and Java backend.
We have ant script for building the entire app using source or build from
qooxdoo.
When building the "build" version it can be war and then deployed in Tomlcat or
other JEE container.

Well, choose a backend language, then a framework.
My advice : don't choose a language because of a framework.
Witch one do you know better : Java or PHP ?
Both have some pro and cons but choose the one you know better.
For PHP you have Zend or CakePHP. I used the last one with qooxdoo but I prefer
Java and OpenJPA : far more powerful.

Base it on role.

For Java, yes like TOmcat. For PHP, only a web server and PHP module.

My 2 cents !
