I am new in vaadin and developing a web project so want to know if i do't use Google App Engine as my project's run time environment so that am able to use Google all APIs such as:
*Calender API
*Contact API
*Drive API
* and also other which google provide :
Google APIs
As i get to know that GAE has lot of limitations.
Please suggest me for the structure design of an Enterprise project with
Maven+vaadin+Runtime Environment(Jboss)+Eclipse+MySQL
Google APIs does not require your application to be running on Google App Engine unless of course you’re trying to use an App Engine specific API like this.
If you’re seeking suggestions on how to structure your project using Google App Engine, you may want to do so in official App Engine Google Group as such questions can be considered too broad on stackoverflow.

I was wondering if I need the Google java client libraries to access my google calendars from GAE. Are they part of the Google App Engine SDK by default?
Moreover I was not able to find a good example or tutorial which shows how to create, read, update and delete Google calendar events from an Google Cloud Platform app.
Thanks a lot, if you can offer same code examples or links to appropriate and working tutorials.
You're looking for the Google Java API client:
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/
This library isn't included in App Engine by default, but there are instructions on that page for how to install it. When you have it set up, here's the guide for using the calendar API:

Hope this helps!
I am trying Python quickstart project (https://developers.google.com/glass/develop/mirror/quickstart/python) and it is implemented on GAE, however, looking at the code it does not seem that there is much dependency on App Engine itself (code is kind of complicated and I still do not understand it all though).
Is this required to host Mirror-based glassware on App Engine?
Is this required to host Mirror-based glassware on App Engine?
No, it is not required. What you really need is ability to use Google API's and Mirror API is just one of them.
Java quick start, for example does not run on top of GAE.
I just learned about Google App Engine, and I must say it is fantastic.
But, based on the nature of Google app engine, is it possible to design an e-commerce website using Google App Engine? I mean, based on the huge cloud server platform provided by Google App Engine, we have a built-in content delivery network. But, should it be that way?
is it possible to design an e-commerce website using Google App Engine?
If you want to develop such a website then why not go for more portable alternative? For example, develop your e-commerce website on web2py or django. Both can be hosted on GAE (in case of web2py it just needs minor modifications). GAE imposes a lot of restrictions, but you can stop worrying about system administration and scaling as GAE takes care of it.
If you want to focus on developing an e-commerce website rather than on learning development specifically for GAE then I suggest you use web2py, because porting is very easy.

I have tested it myself, you can check it if you like: http://memstats-w2py.appspot.com/
Now Google App Engine supports SSL over custom domain names.

I've got a question concerning the two "products" Google provides : google apps (dedicated gmail, docs, calendar...) and google app engine (application in the cloud).
If I want to develop an application inside google apps, is it necessarily on google app engine ? Or can I develop a basic webapp with wathever i want (spring, grails, or anything else) ?
I understand google app engine since i've already develop on it, but google apps is more obscure.
Behind the question, i want to know if i can use something else than app engine to go on google apps, because app engine limitations are a kind of boring (file upload with blobstore is a mess : 1mb limit, upload with http...)
You don't need to use App Engine at all. See that the Google Apps Marketplace has tutorials for languages not even supported in App Engine: PHP, Ruby, .NET and Java (ok, this last one is supported ;-):
http://code.google.com/googleapps/marketplace/tutorial.html
And by the way: blobstore upload limit is not 1MB, but 2 gigabytes.
What is the easiest way to use the Amazon Product API on the Google App Engine? How do you work around the socket limitations of Google App Engine?
Are you using the REST API ? If it's purely a REST API, you should be able to make calls using the urlfetch service.
What have you tried so far, and what errors has it given you?
Also, are you using the Java or Python version of App Engine?
I'm using this library together with Beautiful Soup on App Engine. Had no problems so far.
This basic Amazon Product API module is compatible with Google App Engine.
