title: Server DB usage
body: <p>I've been trying to create 2 proof of concept applications with gwt and vaadin.</p>
  
  <p>I started with gwt:</p>
  
  <p>I was astonished by the idea off me debugging the client side in eclipse :)
  The same reason I couldn't open a connection in mysql. in my gwt project (its client side DUH?!)</p>
  
  <p>When I started working with vaadin I saw the following weirdness:
  I could open a connection of mysql and inject the results into the containers.
  Now that's weird?! how can I do mysql connection in the client? and how come I don't need an rpc for the db info to be transferred to the client?</p>
  
  <p>I'm sure im missing something here. any help?</p>
