Oh yeah you're right. GWT development mode just simply scans the war folder for anything ending in .html and then offers those options to you "for your convenience". So 2 things to say here, 1. you are not limited to these URLs, you can type anything in your browser 2. GWT plugin just isn't seeing your .xhtml file, doesn't mean it's not there. However, to make everyone happy I'd recommend you change your .xhtml back to .html and then fix up the doctype to be XHTML. Honestly, that's all that counts, not the file extension. In fact try this: 1. run your app 2. right click and view source 3. copy your (x)html source code 4. visit http://validator.w3.org and click the Validate by Direct Input tab 5. paste your source code into there and click validate. If you have provided valid xhtml code it will detect that and tell you.
