So I have a problem with an ordinary Java servlet that creates and
returns an excelfile for me.
The call starts from the client side where I parse my table of data,
creates an xml-file wich I send via a POST message to the servlet.
The servlet recieves the requests, I extract the information from the
xml-file, creates the excelfile and then noting happens at the
browser. Except the messagebox wich displays OK.

I also gets these messages in the Development Shell.
[ERROR] Unable to find 'ExcelFileCreator.gwt.xml' on your classpath;
could be a typo, or maybe you forgot to include a classpath entry for
source?
[WARN] Use of deprecated hosted mode servlet path mapping
[WARN] The client code is invoking the servlet with a URL that is not
module-relative: /ExcelFileCreator
[WARN] Prepend GWT.getModuleBaseURL() to the URL in client code to
create a module-relative URL: /
se.transrail.GWTTidrExcelLookalike.excellookalike/ExcelFileCreator
[WARN] Using module-relative URLs ensures correct URL-independent
behavior in external servlet containers

Could the message be due to the mapping of the servlet? I have just
created a file ExcelFileCreator.gwt.xml with the content shown below.

using gwt 1.5

What am I doing wrong?
