The model layer of a GWT application has to be a little bit smarter than the model in many traditional web applications. It needs to be responsible for notifying the view layer of changes, as well as for receiving updates to its own structure. In desktop Java development, this is accomplished through the use of PropertyChangeEvents and PropertyChangeListeners that bind the data from the model to the view components. The view layer "listens" for changes to the model and updates itself accordingly, using the Observer pattern. This can be done in GWT development as well.
