Remi,
 
The port is straightforward and will probably be (semi-)automated.
 
Best regards,

Jérôme,

That is really cool. I was quite sure I was missing some point !

Are you not worried nevertheless to sync compatible changes between
org.restlet/ and org.restlet.gae/ in the long term ? For example when
ServerResource evolves or for bug fixes.

Best regards,
Rémi

Hi Remi,
 
As long as the extension only relies on GAE's white listed JRE classes, it
will work without any modification (example: the FreeMarker extension). Your
dream can come true already :-)
 
In the recent version of "org.restlet.gae.jar", the packages are the same as
in "org.restlet.jar" so it should be easy to leverage Restlet extensions
that are compatible with GAE. 
 
As a result, it should be possible to deploy existing Restlet applications
in GAE without any modification, as long as their are compatible with GAE's
environment of course.

Jérôme,

As far as I understand, we can't reuse Restlet extensions made for
org.restlet.* with org.restlet.gae.* classes, can we ?
I have thought at a time that GAE would be a deployment option for our
restlet applications. With the gae copy, we may not reuse an application as
straitforward as I may have dreamed. I see Restlet extensible enough not to
have to copy the full code base. Would that dream have been possible with
1.1 with the API and Engine separation ?

Why should not we support this scenario ;) ?

Thanks,
Rémi

Hi Richy,

Thanks for sharing your experience!

When I did the adaptation of Restlet to GAE (resulting in the new
"org.restlet.gae.jar" available in recent snapshots), I took the source code
and had to remove many classes that didn't compile due to the lack of
sockets and SSL support (mainly the internal connectors).

I'm surprised that the "org.restlet.jar" works despite this and I'm not sure
if we should support this usage scenario. In addition, "org.restlet.gae.jar"
includes the ServerServlet, the JavaMail and the JDK's Net connectors. In
the future, it will leverage other GAE APIs.

Regarding FreeMarker, the ContextTemplateLoader I just added to SVN trunk
will probably help simplifying its usage in GAE with Restlet. Let me know if
you have a chance to test it.

After a bit of experimentation I have managed to get a Restlet/Freemarker
stack running on GAE.

The basic steps I took were :

1. Modify ServletConverter and ServletContextAdapter as detailed below.

Basically this means replacing the calls to new ServletLogger with
Logger.getLogger e.g. in the ServletConverter constructor do something
like...

super(new Context(Logger.getLogger(ServletConverter.class.getName())));

2. Add org.freemarker.jar, org.restlet.jar, org.restlet.ext.servlet.jar and
org.restlet.ext.freemarker.jar to the WEB-INF/lib of your google app project
and add to the build path.

3. Follow usual setup for getting Restlet working in a Servlet environment.
Folow the HelloWorld tutorial in the getting started docs -  it should work
fine locally (even without doing step 1. However, you'll need to replace
these calls in order to get it to run in the real GAE)

4.  Freemarker was a little more tricky, but not much.  Create a freemarker
configuration that uses the class template loader and put this in the
Restlet Application context attributes.

5. Make sure your templates are somewhere on the class path.

6. Use the TemplateRepresentation along with your freemarker config from the
context attributes

7. Make sure it works locally and upload to the app engine.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to write this up properly over easter, but it
wasn't too bad and looks promising so far.

Cheers,

Richy
