This book goes into some detail about using the Channel Service in a GWT app 
using this library: 
https://www.packtpub.com/google-app-engine-java-and-gwt-application-development/
book

If you download the code samples, you can see in ChannelServer.java that 
there's some code to send an GWT-RPC-serialized object down to the client, 
which the client can deserialize into an object.

Since this is using GWT-RPC serialization, the payload is obfuscated over the 
wire. It may be simpler to send standard JSON over the wire and deserialize 
using a JSNI overlay, or use an AutoBean:

The dance dance robot example: http://code.google.com/p/dance-dance-robot
is using the GWT-RPC serialization to send messages to the client

Sending Proxy classes linke EntityProxy or ValueProxy which are used for 
RequestFactory would be great.
