I'm fairly familiar with GWT - having completed the Eclipse-based tutorial. But the tutorial runs in client-server mode.
My question is: is it possible to create a GWT application that completely runs client-side, where javascript/html is generated but there is no reliance on backend java classes?
I understand that the full breadth of GWT capability may not be present (including the use of Java runtime functionality), but I remain interested in such a solution.
cheers, Ian

In web development, 'client side' refers to everything in a web application that is displayed or takes place on the client (end user device). This includes what the user sees, such as text, images, and the rest of the UI, along with any actions that an application performs within the user's browser.
Client-side means that the action takes place on the user's (the client's) computer. Server-side means that the action takes place on a web server.
Client-side development, sometimes referred to as front-end development , is a type of development that involves programs that run on a client's or user's device. Client-side developers focus on creating the part of a website with which the user interacts.
A client-side script is a program that is processed within the client browser. These kinds of scripts are small programs which are downloaded , compiled and run by the browser. JavaScript is an important client-side scripting language and widely used in dynamic websites.
GWT application are basically client side application.
For the hosted mode since their is some debugging involve it use java.
When you do a normal (release) compilation GWT would generate the javascript of your application and you don't need the java at server side anymore.
See the documentation there, in web mode the javascript are produced and you don't need the java server side anymore.
