| <p>GWT modules may declare one or more <code><servlet></code> |
| tags. These define Java Servlets that implement the server-side |
| component of a GWT-enabled web application.</p> |
| |
| <p>Prior to GWT 1.6, these GWT module servlet tags controlled the set of |
| servlets were actually instantiated during hosted mode. But as of GWT 1.6, this |
| is no longer true. Instead, the web application's <code>WEB-INF/web.xml</code> |
| configuration file controls what servlets are instantiated. A GWT module |
| specifies only what servlets are <i>expected</i>. |
| |
| <p>During hosted mode startup, the set of expected servlets (from GWT module |
| <code><servlet></code> tags) is validated against the set of actual |
| servlets (from the <code>WEB-INF/web.xml</code>) and a warning is issued for |
| each expected servlet which does not match an actual servlet. |
