I have not received a single response to this problem. I am hopping to drum up some support for it. In that vein I have posted below other messages that are basically dealing with the same issue. As yet, I have not read of a sufficient solution to this problem. Here are the other post that seems to match the problem description mentioned above:

I feel that this really needs to be addressed. Testing with "-noserver" should be as easy as getting the hosted mode working with "noserver". Once you have hosted mode working with "-noserver" testing should work as well. There shouldn't be a discrepancy as near as I can figure. I would suggest one of two solutions: 1) Simply make it such that the "-noserver" option works with GWT unit test 2) Tomcat should be configured by default to allow for a "reverse- proxy" setup. Using some very simple configuration file. I should be able to route all request from my gwt-application in hosted mode to my "-noserver" server, thereby accessing my resources on my "-noserver" server without violating SOP. Thanks.
