BTW, the MaintainJ webapp doesn't write anything on the server-side, so I doubt it will have trouble running on the GAEJ-configured Embedded Jetty server. Plus locally it runs on the NORMAL default SUN- ORacle JRE, and thus not on the specific/limited environment available in the GAEJ clouds! Could someone at least point out what the path of the GAEJ local Embedded Jetty server is? I want to try to deploy a second War in to be loaded for each server-instance.
