at EclipseCon 2009 the same authors gave a talk about "RAP or GWT -
Which Java-Based AJAX Technology is for You?". A recording can be found
here [1]. Not sure though how much new content the updated presentation
offers.
The main conceptual difference outlined in the presentation still holds
true: With GWT, your application is translated into Javascript and sent
to the client. As a consequence your application must explicitly do
remote calls obtain or send back data from/to the server.
RAP acts like an X-Server. Application code lives on the server and you
can use all the libraries and frameworks (e.g. databinding, spring, ...)
that make sense in your application.
The client sends events like "button clicked", "focus lost", "text
entered" to the server and the server responds with information about
which properties of which widgets have changed. These changes are then
applied by the client.
Most things that were missing in 2009 are available now: GC, Drag&Drop,
FormText, StyledText (read-only), Tooling for WAR Deployment. See the
new & noteworthy for more details [2], [3]
If you have further (specific) questions feel free to ask.
