Initialization failed exception when running on Google App Engine - google-app-engine

I have a GAE application that works fine with Eclipse + Google plugin when executed within the localhost environment, however when I upload it to GAE server, (appspot) I get this error:
Uncaught exception from servlet
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Initialization failed.

Using GAE and Jersey with multipart/form-data feature enabled crashes servlet on strartup

I am using GAE 1.9.10 and Jersey 2.12.
I enable the multipart/form-data feature in my web.xml as follows
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.classnames</param-name>
<param-value>
org.glassfish.jersey.server.mvc.jsp.JspMvcFeature;
org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.MultiPartFeature
</param-value>
</init-param>
The web pages loads perfectly on my local dev server including the multipart feature, but when I upload to xxx.appspot.com and request any page going through the Jersey servlet I immediately get the following error in my logs (and I get an Http error 500 on the web page):
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: A MultiException has 3 exceptions. They are:
1. java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to create temporary file
2. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to perform operation: create on org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.internal.MultiPartReaderServerSide

I know that GAE does not allow creation of files so clearly that is where the issue lies (as can be seen from the error above), but I do not know how to resolve this.
Does anyone know a solution? Thanks!
To enable the multipart/form-data feature on App Engine an additional short config. file is required in your project - for details see my and #yves' answers here.

Is it possible to connect MongoHq in Google App Engine?

I'm trying to deploy a simple test app to Google App Engine. It's written in clojure and use mongodb(MongoHq) internally. Though it works well in my local machine, it doesn't work in Google App Engine, internal server error occurred.
I use monger to use mongodb, and connect by using connect-via-uri function.
(mg/connect-via-uri config/db-uri)
When I delete the above code, no error occurred.
My question is:
Is it possible (or allowed) to use(=connect) MongoHq in Google App Engine?
I check the logs and the stack trace is like this:

Unforunatly monger is attempting to create a new thread, and GAE only allows a single thread which can frustrate Clojure developers a bit It's unlikely that mongo can be made to work with App Engine. GAE is opinionated in it's choice of datastores.

Uncaught exception from servlet javax.servlet.UnavailableException: java.security.AccessControlException

After I deploy my web app to google app engine servers, all seems fine:
99% Closing update: new version is ready to start serving.
99% Uploading index definitions.
Update completed successfully.
Success.
Cleaning up temporary files...
However, when trying to test it from the url: myappname.appspot.com, i got this common error:
Error: Server Error
The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.
If the problem persists, please report your problem and mention this error message and the query that caused it.
In the log of my app, this is the error i got:

I'm new to GAE, so I need to understand how to solve such errors. Thanx in advance.
P.S: If that will help, i am deploying a ringojs project.
There are some limitations on how you can use threads in Java on App Engine:

Grails application failed to run in GoogleAppEngine due to HashMap$Entry ClassNotFound error

I am trying to port my Grails project to GAE, now it has the Cloud SQL support. I did not use the Grails App Engine Plugin because it doesn't appear to support Cloud SQL (after all it's fairly new). I was able to manage to get my Grails project running on localhost under Google Java Development Server and everything is functioning. But after I upload the app to Google Appspot, the app failed to initialize citing ClassNotFound for java.util.HashMap$Entry. My gut feeling is that the groovy enhanced Hashmap class used some features not allowed by App Engine and thus prevented it from loading. But i'm a groovy newbie so don't really know where to start digging in Groovy.

You appear to have bumped into this reported bug related to ConfigSlurper and the security restrictions on GAE. As the bug suggests, you might be able to switch to using JsonSlurper to work around this problem.
