I am kind of new with GWT, and I was hoping someone could clarify my
following questions, or at least point me out to some light. Thanks
for any help.

The setting is as follows:

- Eclipse 3.4.2 , GWT 1.7.1 and plugin.

- Created two basic GWT modules with GWT Plugin under Eclipse. Both
are just copies of the GreetService application that gets generated by
default when you create a new GWT project using the plugin Wizard.

The modules are:
-Security
-Main

The Main module is going to inherit the Security one. So, I modified
the Main.gwt.xml file to inherit the security module.
<inherits name='org.security.Security'/>

In addition to this, Eclipse complained about the build path for the
Main module when I did this change. So, I had to add the Security
module as a "Required project on the build path" of the Main module.
This step removed any problems in compilation time.

So, I proceed to run the Main module. When, I ran the project, only
one single Hosted-mode browser window opened. And, these are the
problems encountered:

- The single browser window contained elements (buttons, textboxes,
etc) from both of the modules. So, I could see all html elements in a
single window.

First questions:
Is this the desired behavior?
Can we open more than one browser window, one per each module that has
an entrypoint and refers to a html page?
Is there a way to let each module know on which port each application
will run? In other words, both of the modules are running in
localhost, but I would like to set them to run in different ports such
that there is no conflict.

Then, I proceed to test the functionality of the elements in the
single browser window. I clicked the button of the Main application
that greets the Server. It worked well. No problems.
Then, I clicked in the second button from the Security module to make
an RPC to the server, and it got the default message: "An error
occurred while attempting to contact the server. Please check network
connection ..."
I am guessing that the Server side of the Security module did not load
because of the port issue. Is this true, or is there something else
that I am missing?

I get in the Hosted Mode Window also the following:
404 - POST /main/greet (127.0.0.1) 1396 bytes

I notice that the main module do not have a "greet" servlet (since I
refactored it). However, the Security module kept that servlet name,
should not be /security/greet instead?, where is the application
getting confused? Why the call is going to the main servlet to look
for the "greet" service instead of going to the Security module
servlet services?

Is this feasible? I mean, can we debug and test functionality of cross
referenced GWT modules/projects in Eclipse?
I am a newbie, so is there somewhere a discussion, tutorial,
documentation that I am missing?

Thanks,
p.s. Hope I could put some small images to better illustrate the
issues.
