Why isn't there a system property that can be used to detect if a
program is running on appengine?
This is really a glaring oversight. I would expect something like
System.getProperty("google.appengine") to be "development" or
"production" (or of course null).
Before someone says "check the servlet context", realize that this is
grossly inadequate - library writers do not have access to the servlet
context.
I'm trying to get the Hessian RPC library working on appengine so we
have an easy-to-use web services protocol. One of the first things
the hessian java client does is teardown any keepalive connections by
making a quick request expired at 10ms. This terminates with a caught
IOException in the normal world, but produces an
ApiDeadlineExceededException in appengine.
I'd like to simply short-circuit this unnecessary behavior when
running on appengine. I found the SecurityManager check but that
seems unreliable. Why isn't there a nice easy system property?
Thanks,
Jeff
