What’s the relationship between a GWT app’s web.xml <welcome-file-list>, each module’s EntryPoint and the war/<myapp>/<myapp>.html when an app has more than 1 module? Is there more than 1 <welcome-file>? In such a case, how do all three relate to each other?

welcome-file is what a server serves if no page is specified in a user request. For example, if a user enters in his browser http://www.your-domain.com/, then a welcome file is served. But if a user enters http://www.your-domain.com/MyModule.jsp – MyModule.jsp is served.
Modules typically have an entry point, but they don’t have to. You may have modules which are inherited by other modules and don’t have an entry point of their own. If a module does have an entry point, there should be a host page like MyModule.html or MyModule.jsp that loads MyModule.
