I am Using GWT SDK 2.4.0
Google appengine 1.6.3
I am trying to create a application where a file is uploaded to external repository.
The max size of file is 5 MB.
With help of formPanel, formupload and servlet i send the file to server.
On server Side this file is send to external repository.
fileName = item.getName();
mimetype = item.getContentType();
int len;
while ((len = stream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) != -1) {
output.write(buffer, 0, len);
}
ByteArrayInputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(output.toByteArray());
Session session =getSession();
ContentStream contentStream = session.getObjectFactory()
.createContentStream(fileName, output.size(), mimetype, input);
FilenetDocument document = new FilenetDocument(fileName);
Folder folder =getFolderSession();
folder.createDocument(document.addDocumentProperty(),
contentStream, VersioningState.MAJOR);
with this procedure i create document in external repository. and on refresh i can see the file on my GWT client GUI.
Now i want to download the same file from external repository.
So on server side i wrote this code (FileUtils.download method for downloading from external repositrry.)
System.out.println(" id " +docId);
FileUtils.download(docId,"C:/FilenetDownload",session); <--line 55
but this gives me Error
PrintStack :
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.io.FileOutputStream is a restricted class. Please see the Google App Engine developer's guide for more details.

Plz Can any one explain what is wrong .. or What should i Do..
Google App Engine has some restrictions, you can read more about the problem you're experiencing here. Instead of using FileUtils.download you should use a lower level api and then store the content in some available storage location (normal file system is not an option in GAE). For instance, using the BlobStore API:
CmisObject object = session.getObject(session.createObjectId(docId));
Document document = (Document) object;
String filename = document.getName();
InputStream stream = document.getContentStream().getStream();
BlobStoreContext context = new BlobStoreContextFactory().createContext("aws-s3", identity, credential);
Map<String, InputStream> map = context.createInputStreamMap("my_content");
map.put(document.getId(), stream);
context.close();
on the app engine you can not access the file system directly, this is not permitted.
Here is an example on how to use the app engine blobstore to upload a file:

I'm using Google App Engine to develop a plugin for Atlassian JIRA. They have recently changed around how to use development instances of Cloud JIRA. It now uses an external, Atlassian hosted, version of JIRA Cloud (instead of a local copy).
To develop locally you need to run ngrok (atlassian instructions) to communicate between your local server (for me Google App Engine running in Eclipse) and the external JIRA instance.
My problem is that this gives a 500 error reporting a 404 when it does the AJAX call to the Google App Engine end point. The Servlet calls work fine. The Javascript error is:
jquery.min.js:4 GET https://7d45c4d7.au.ngrok.io/_ah/api/myplugin/v1/addEdit?projectId=10001&id=-1 500 (Failed to retrieve API configs with status: 404)
The returned error if I try to put the URL into my browser is:

I have searched around and the only thing I can find is to add --address=0.0.0.0 to the program arguments (next to --port=8888) but this still doesn't work (actually makes no difference).
I found another article that said they got this type of error when not using #Named on the on the parameters being passed in but I have these for the called code.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Normally, to get a url from a BlobKey, I simply do
public static String getUrlFromKey(BlobKey blobKey) {
if(null == blobKey)return null;
ServingUrlOptions options = ServingUrlOptions.Builder.withBlobKey(blobKey).secureUrl(false);
String servingUrl = ImagesServiceFactory.getImagesService().getServingUrl(options);
return servingUrl;
}
But I am now getting an exception and I am convince that the reason is because this time the Blobkey is for a video instead of an image. So how do I get the url given the Blobkey of a video?
For some background, I am using a Cloud Endpoint App-Engine server for my Android app. after uploading a video to the Blobstore, I need to be able to watch it from my android device. So if there is no way to get the url the way I can with an image, is there a way to serve it from an endpoint method?

From the documentation:
To serve blobs, you must include a blob download handler as a path in
your application. This handler should pass the blob key for the
desired blob to blobstoreService.serve(blobKey, res);. In this
example, the blob key is passed to the download handler as the URL
argument (req.getParameter('blob-key')). In practice, the download
handler can get the blob key by any means you choose, such as through
another method or user action.
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws IOException {
BlobKey blobKey = new BlobKey(req.getParameter("blob-key"));
blobstoreService.serve(blobKey, res);
Look at using Google Cloud Storage instead of Blobstore. Then you can serve your videos directly - simply by passing the URL of a video, without going through your application.

Failed to retrieve API configs with status: 404 - Google App Engine
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I try to build a very simple GAE application, using eclipse and the Google Plugin for Eclipse.
I've generated some Endpoint from an #Entity class, then I've generated Cloud Endpoint Client library.
After that I've started the appEngine project (within eclipse, on the embedded jetty server). When I try to access /_ah/api I get the following issue:
HTTP ERROR 500

I have an appengine java project that includes pdf creation at some point. The pdf document has special font that I'm trying to include with:
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont("resources/AlexBrush-Regular.ttf", "", BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Code runs perfect locally but when deployed I get the NoClassDefFoundError (stack trace below). Did any one succeeded in adding custom font to iText on appengine? I'm using iTextg-5.4.4
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.nio.MappedByteBuffer is a restricted class. Please see the Google App Engine developer's guide for more details.

As you know, you should avoid all file system related operations on GAE. As you can read on the iTextG page, some methods in iTextG are to be used only on Android, not on GAE. I quote:
We have not removed them since they are useful on an Android device,
but it doesn't make sense to use them in the context of Google App
Engine.
This means that you need to use a byte[] if you want to create a BaseFont instance. You can't use the createFont() method that takes a path to a font program. Instead you need to use the createFont() method that accepts the bytes of the font program.
In my Java Google App Engine server application, I would like to enable Channel Presence servlets in order to track connections/disconnections to/from my channels using the Channel API (as described here. I have already edited my WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml file like described.
Most servlets in my application use Sitebricks, instead of classes extending HttpServlet, to provide an easy way for me to create REST endpoints in my app. BUT, it seems like using Sitebricks in my class, like so, does not work because I get WARNING: No file found for: /_ah/channel/connected/ when the URL is hit:
#At("/_ah/channel")
#Service
public class MyChannelPresenceServlet {
...
#Post("/connected")
public void connectedMethod() {
...
}
#Post("/disconnected")
public void disconnectedMethod() {
...
}
...
}
Is there any way for me to use Sitebricks at all to provide a REST URL endpoint, for Channel Presence, for /-ah/channel/connected/ and /_ah/channel/disconnected/?
BONUS QUESTION
Let's say that Sitebricks is not the way to go and, instead, I need to stick to normal servlet classes that extends HttpServlet and are configured via WEB-INF/web.xml. This other solution still does not work for me. Let's say that I were to put this into my web.xml file:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>channel_connect</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.example.PresenceServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>channel_connect</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/_ah/channel/connected/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
In this example, com.example.PresenceServlet is a child of HttpServlet and overrides the doPost(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) method from the parent. I STILL run into problems:

All help much appreciated. Especially from a Google employee.
(PS: I am using GAE SDK 1.7.2. I am eagerly awaiting the release of 1.7.3)
Update
There was one more experiment I tried. In the <servlet> tag of web.xml for my servlet class, I added this tag in order to force my servlet to be loaded upon server startup (which, by the way, is done using mvn gae:run in my example). Now I get this output
WARNING: /_ah/channel/connected/: javax.servlet.UnavailableException: java.lang.InstantiationException: com.ea.pogosocial.rest.ChannelServiceServlet
Hmm that is too bad. It looks as though GAE introspects the servlet chain to try and discover a registered handler for /_ah/channel/*
Disclaimer: I am the creator of both Sitebricks and Guice Servlet so I find this rather frustrating. The one time I did implement a channel setup in GAE I managed to do it using the Channel API directly:
https://github.com/dhanji/crosstalk/blob/master/src/main/java/com/wideplay/crosstalk/web/RoomPage.java
If anyone still cares...
Problem was that I could use neither Sitebricks nor Guice Injection for a Servlet that handles POST requests to Channel Presence Service URIs. Once I removed both, the servlet worked like a charm.
