Hi, "I am about to create a web application using GWT + MySQL. My understanding is that I need to set up an external server (Tomcat) in order to use a MySQL back-end"
No really, GWT is to build frontend. So you can do your backend in other language, for example PHP and communicate with GWT via JSON. If you want use only GWT-RPC, yes. You need a Servlet Container. You think, if you are starting with GWT try first with: 2. Create a Google - Web Application Project and get it to run under You don't loose time with configurations. Then you can generate the WAR and deploy in a tomcat server. In time your project grow I recommend gwt-maven-plugin for manage your project.
