After only having touched upon Java some ten years ago I ran into the Restlet framework in my hunt for tools that could assist in client-server based Android apps. I spent the last few days building the 2.0.4 libraries, playing around with the First application example, and reading up on GAE. I think I've got a basic picture of how things fit together and it seems Restlet is an ideal framework for what I would like to accomplish.
Now I still have a few questions that I hope you could help me with though: In Eclipse, would it make sense to place the sources of shared classes in a separate project and reference these sources from the GAE and Android projects? Should I rather keep separate instances? Symbolic links? Looking into storing data I have several questions. My intention is to store data in GAE for now, but I would like to keep the option to switch to an other application server and storage solution open. Should I subclass my shared classes in the GAE project and add JDO annotations there? Should I look use JDO in the first place? Should I consider using objectify? Would this really simplify things? If so, at what cost? Looking forward to any responses, hints, tips, and references. Thanks for what seems a really nice framework!
