title: Java GWT server programming handling GET/POST requests
body: <p>I am new to java programming in the web environment and am having trouble understanding the flow.</p>
  
  <p>For an assignment coming up I need to build a web application accessible with an API via get/post requests. For the tutorials that I have followed here is the flow I understand.</p>
  
  <p>User visits top domain->
  Per configuration user is directed to a jsp page->
  Jsp contains javascrip and html. To access server code (for database, computations and other processes) the jsp page can use RCP to make async requests to a java servlet->
  Java servlet does server handling and returns response to jsp page</p>
  
  <p>Is this the required flow or can a user directly acess a servlet, and can that servlet handle get/post, or do I have to handle at the jsp and foward to the servlet?</p>
