Hi Russ, Actually if your GWT application does not involve any communication with the server you don't need web.xml at all. When you add communication with the server to your application you will get at least one servlet which you should describe in your web.xml file. So for simple applications you may survive with rudimentary web.xml file.
But for ANY even very simple hello world GWT application you must have standard .gwt.xml file. The most important job this file is doing is defining which of your java classes is the EntryPoint for your application. So when your application is being loaded into the browser the flow will start from your entry point class.
