I created one google app engine project. There I configured DWR(DirectWebRemoting).
I have created one ajax functionality which will checks the username and password of the user. But it does give me any output rather it gives Error:
dwr is not defined
Source File: http://localhost:8081/dwr.jsp
Line: 16
Where as it works fine in Tomcat web application.
So My question is that does Google app engine not support DWR configuration?
DWR is compatible with GAE according to "Will it play in Java" (broken link. possibly: a list of GAE-compatible java libraries) page.
Several links to threads with proof of success and potential limitations:
thread about "DWR 3 RC1" from "users#dwr.java.net"
StackOverflow question "DWR sometimes die on the GAE server"
Most useful post in "DWR 3 RC1" thread is this one (about potential problems).
Do you require reverse ajax? (Current implementation uses a thread to clean up expired sessions. Current implementation uses javax.swing.event.EventListenerList which is blacklisted by GAE/J.)
Do you require file upload? (Can potentially write to disk)
Do you require file download? (Current implementation uses a thread to clean up expired downloads)
If you don't need anything from the above, then you could replace problematic classes with dummy implementation.
I don't think this is supported, but the same functionality is offered by channels :

I have developed and published an app in Google Play Store, which only send simple String request to REST API and store the results in the Preferences. The same app is also submitted to Windows Store for publication, however it was rejected due to the following reason:
The app declares use of the sensitive capability [musicLibrary, picturesLibrary, videosLibrary] without appearing to access the declared capability. Please removed the sensitive capability declaration and re-submit the app.
Upon inspection to Google Play Store submission, I noticed the same permissions are requested:
This app has access to:Photos/Media/Filesread the contents of your USB storagemodify or delete the contents of your USB storageStorageread the contents of your USB storagemodify or delete the contents of your USB storageOtherreceive data from Internetview network connectionsfull network accessprevent device from sleeping
So my question is, do Preferences really need these permissions, or can I set some kind of build hints to remove these permission requests, especially for UWP build? I have also tried to set android.blockExternalStoragePermission build hint, but the permissions are still requested in Android build. I have yet to try iOS build since currently I don't have Apple Developer account.
Thank you very much in advance.
Edit #1 (23/10/2018):
Upon further inspection, I found that I have mistakenly uploaded the version that didn't declare android.blockExternalStoragePermission to Google Play Store, so all good on Android version.
Currently I'm not using any of cn1libs, and here's the list of all classes imported in my application:
java.util.HashMapjava.util.Mapjava.util.Randomcom.codename1.components.InfiniteProgresscom.codename1.components.ToastBarcom.codename1.components.ToastBar.Statuscom.codename1.io.CharArrayReadercom.codename1.io.JSONParsercom.codename1.io.Logcom.codename1.io.NetworkManagercom.codename1.io.Preferencescom.codename1.io.rest.Responsecom.codename1.io.rest.Restcom.codename1.l10n.L10NManagercom.codename1.ui.Buttoncom.codename1.ui.Componentcom.codename1.ui.Containercom.codename1.ui.Dialogcom.codename1.ui.FontImagecom.codename1.ui.Formcom.codename1.ui.Labelcom.codename1.ui.events.ActionEventcom.codename1.ui.events.ActionListenercom.codename1.ui.layouts.BorderLayoutcom.codename1.ui.layouts.FlowLayoutcom.codename1.ui.layouts.GridLayoutcom.codename1.ui.plaf.Bordercom.codename1.ui.plaf.Stylecom.codename1.ui.plaf.UIManagercom.codename1.ui.util.Resources
So my original question remain, how do I set the build hints to prevent the same external storage read/write permission in Windows and iOS?
See the section titled "Android Permissions" here, for a list of some API's that might trigger extra permissions. I suggest extracting the manifest from the XML and inspecting it. It should include two permissions based on your description you should have two permissions there:
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - which you should have been disabled when you applied android.blockExternalStoragePermission
android.permission.INTERNET - this one you actually need
I'm assuming you have a permission for media access and here it becomes a question of where it came from?
Did you use a cn1lib that might include a feature that triggers this?
Do you have a feature in the app that isn't active yet?
Once you have the specific name or results of this investigation comment here and I'll revise the answer with more details.
Is there anyway that I can manage the appengine versions and instances through API calls?
What I mean by managing is to start/stop/delete versions deployed to the appengine through API calls.
Is that possible by using gcloud sdk commands from command line ?
Another question , does google provide APIs (or commands) to check the status of running instances ? check if the instance is idle or not and how long its being idle
There is a beta API for managing versions and services here:
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/admin-api/
The API is still beta because it's under active development; there are still a few methods and fields which aren't implemented. Shortly after those are complete, the API will be marked "v1", though v1beta4 and v1beta5 will continue to be supported for several months in transition.
For example, the API doesn't yet include operations on instances, but I expect that List/Get/Delete will be available fairly soon. Since App Engine automatically creates instances for you, there is no create instance API.
I just noticed that the most recent documentation re-skin seems to have hidden the documentation for the REST interface, so I'll drop that link there so you that you can find the currently implemented methods. (Version.Update is also implemented for a few fields, so that documentation update should be coming out very soon.)
2020 UPDATE: You can do it using the apps.services.versions api. You can stop/start a version with the PATCH method, setting the mask to "servingStatus" and in the body set the "servingStatus" field to "STOPPED"/"SERVING".
Similarly, you can use the delete/create methods to launch and remove new versions

Ok, i found this link https://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/wiki/CrawlerSupport#Using_gwtp-crawler-service that explain how you can make your GWTP app crawlable.
I got some GWTP experience, but i know nothing about AppEngine.
Google said its "crawlservice.appspot.com" can parse any Ajax page. Now I have a page "http://mydomain.com#!article" that has an artice that was pulled from Database. Say that page has the text "this is my article". Now I open this link:
crawlservice.appspot.com/?key=123456&url=http://mydomain.com#!article, then i can see all javascript but I couldn't find the text "this is my article".
Why?
Now let check with a real life example
open this link https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-web-toolkit/Syi04ArKl4k & you will see the text "If i open that url in IE"
Now you open http://crawlservice.appspot.com/?key=123456&url=https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-web-toolkit/Syi04ArKl4k you can see all javascript but there is no text "If i open that url in IE",
Why is it?
SO if i use http://crawlservice.appspot.com/?key=123456&url=mydomain#!article then Can google crawler be able to see the text in mydomain#!article?
also why the key=123456, it means everyone can use this service? do we have our own key? does google limit the number of calls to their service?
Could you explain all these things?
Extra Info:
Christopher suggested me to use this example
https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP-Samples/tree/master/gwtp-samples/gwtp-sample-crawler-service
However, I ran into other problem. My app is a pure GWTP, it doesn't have appengine-web.xml in WEB-INF. I have no idea what is appengine or GAE mean or what is Maven.
DO i need to register AppEngine?
My Appp may have a lot of traffic. Also I am using Godaddy VPS. I don't want to register App Engine since I have to pay for Google for extra traffic.
Everything in my GWTP App is ok right now except Crawler Function.
So if I don't use Google App Engine, then how can i build Crawler Function for GWTP?
I tried to use HTMLUnit for my app, but HTMLUnit doesn't work for GWTP (See details in here Why HTMLUnit always shows the HostPage no matter what url I type in (Crawlable GWT APP)? )
I believe you are not allowed to crawl Google Groups. Probably they are actively trying to prevent this, so you do not see the expected content.
There's a couple points I wish to elaborate on:
The Google Code documentation is no longer maintained. You should look on Github instead: https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP/wiki/Crawler-Support
You shouldn't use http://crawlservice.appspot.com. This isn't a Google service, it's out of date and we may decide to delete it down the road. This only serves as a public example. You should create your own application on App Engine (https://appengine.google.com/)
There is a sample here (https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP-Samples/tree/master/gwtp-samples/gwtp-sample-crawler-service) using GWTP's Crawler Service. You can basically copy-paste it. Just make sure you update the <application> tag in appengine-web.xml to the name of your application and use your own service key in CrawlerModule.
Finally, if your client uses GWTP and you followed the documentation, it will work. If you want to try it manually, you must encode the Query Parameters.
For example http://crawlservice.appspot.com/?key=123456&url=http://www.arcbees.com#!service will not work because the hash (everything including and after #) is not sent to the server.
On the other hand http://crawlservice.appspot.com/?key=123456&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.arcbees.com%2F%23!service will work.
I've been following the HTML5rocks webRTC guide and I have the Javascript set up as described, however the guide is not clear on how to receive a channelToken, roomKey, and User ID. The guide says,
"Note that values used in the JavaScript, such as the room variable and
the token used by openChannel(), are provided by the Google App Engine
app itself: take a look at the index.html template in the repository
to see what values are added."
Unfortunately the link provided is no good and I'm left with very little information regarding the most essential step in this process. The guide isn't clear about whether or not the Google App Engine is a necessary component and I don't see why it should be. I have searched the web in an attempt to find a more useful source, but I was unsuccessful. I also took a look at the webRTC Demo(https://apprtc.appspot[dot]com), that too was no help seeing that the channel information is generated server side. I feel like I should just be able to make a simple http request to some Google server and then run from there. Any information regarding my problem would be much appreciated.
Apologies: the code for this example has been moved to here.
(Been meaning to update the article, but haven't had a chance...)
The apprtc.appspot example uses the Channel API on App Engine for signaling, but there are lots of other ways to do this. Signaling mechanisms are not defined by the WebRTC spec. (Note that signaling, which is accomplished via a signaling service, is the exchange of network and media metadata in order to set up a WebRTC 'call': the actual data is communicated directly between peers.)
We ran a codelab at Google I/O, which describes from start to finish how to build a video chat application that uses Socket.io on Node.js for signaling (it's very simple!) You might want to try that instead.
I have a Silverlight 4 client running on a Facebook page hosted on Google App Engine. It's using gminifb to communicate with the Facebook API. The Silverlight client uses POST calls to the URIs for each method and passes the session information from Facebook with each call.
The project's growing and it would be super-useful if I could set up a unit-testing system to make a variety of the server calls so that when I make changes I can ensure everything else still works. I've worked with nUnit before and I like what I've read of PEX but I'm not sure how to apply them to this situation.
What're the choices for creating a test system for this? Pros/cons of each?
How do I get started setting something like this up?
Solved. I did it as follows:
Created a special user account to be used for testing on the server that bypassed the authentication. Only did this on the test environment by checking a debug flag in that environment's settings. This avoided creating any security hole in the live site (since the same debug flag will be false there.)
Created a C#.NET solution to test each API call. The host project is a console app (no need for a GUI) with three reusable synchronous methods:
SendFormRequest(WebRequest request, Dictionary<string,string> pairs),
GetJsonFromResponse(HttpWebResponse response),
and ResetAccount().
These three methods allow the host project to make HTTP requests on the server and to read the JSON responses.
Wrapped each server API call inside a method call in the host project.
Created an nUnit test project in the solution. Then simply created tests that call each wrapper method in the host project, using different parameters and changing values on the server.
Created a series of tests to verify correct error handling for invalid parameters and data.
It's working perfectly and has already identified a few minor issues that have been found. The result is immensely useful and will check for breaking changes on new deployments.
