I enter the thread despite there are already appropriate answers because I guess you miss something that'll help you understand those...

This is running in Hosted Mode (GWTShell). The hosted mode needs to know the full module name to find it in the classpath, so you cannot shorten this URL. However, as soon as you compile your app for you users to "consume" it, you get in the "-out" dir a com.google.gwt.sample.showcase.Showcase subfolder containing the compiled app: you don't need to copy the subfolder, you can just copy its *content* to whichever place you like (including your HTTP server). You don't need your "welcome page" to follow some naming convention either (the showcase sample uses a Showcase.html but it could be renamed index.html without side-effects), so you can very well put your GWT app at the root of your "production" server: e.g. http://my-site.example.com/ GWT.getModuleBaseURL() and GWT.getHostPageBaseURL() will always give you the appropriate URL based on the location the page has been loaded from (they'll return "http://my-site.example.com/"; in the above case). So you don't have your users "remember and then type 50+ chars", *you* choose the URL of your app ! ...once compiled and deployed, not in hosted mode (but hosted mode isn't for production use) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
