Isaac, Thanks for the offer to help. Here are the lines from the book, I think this is all that is needed to illustrate my question.
TaskServiceAsync service = (TaskServiceAsync) GWT.create (TaskService.class); ServiceDefTarget serviceDef = (ServiceDefTarget) service ; serviceDef.setServiceEntryPoint(GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "tasks" ) ; It's "tasks" that has me confused. I have the example code from the book but I don't see "tasks" used anywhere. What am I looking for, a web.xml? And just to make matters more confusing, is this something that GWT generates or is this mapping (whereever it is) the developers responsibility?
