Most every GWT app has only one entry point not counting the static html in
the war file.
The three pages you described are commonly set up as separate panels/views
that are dynamically placed into a main div within single page load.
You may want to read up on using com.google.gwt.user.client.History for
tools on how to manipulate browser's history stack.
More advanced/complex apps use com.google.gwt.place.shared.Place for mapping
url tokens to presenters & views.
The war/WEB-INF/web.xml file controls the default page being loaded.
You can redirect it to whatever although I usually name my entry point
index.html.
<!-- Default page to serve -->
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
