App Engine uses the servlets API, so it should be fine. However, you should be aware of certain nuances of moving to a cloud based solution:
- App Engine can and will tear down and bring up instances of your application as capacity demands it, so storing data in local state will be less useful than you think. We won't call servlet teardown hooks, either, so you will have to rely on building stateless servers - Not all classes will work out of the box because there is a class whitelist - Your persistence layer will have to be retrofitted for a distributed datastore if you are working with an RDBMS On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 4:49 AM, Mats Svensson <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there any way to take a servlet that is currently running on > tomcat, and instead run it in app engine? > > I cant seem to find any documentation or tutorials describing this. > All descriptions here seem to be very google-specific and i don't > recognize any of the usual servlet-stuff im used to. > > Do i have to build a special google version of the servlet, or is > there something like the tomcat "webapps"-folder somewhere that i can > just drop it into and go? > > I guess im looking for some kind of "app engine for people used to > tomcat"-tutorial. > > There must be others that has taken this step before me, (if it can be > done). > > > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google App Engine" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine?hl=en. > > -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine http://googleappengine.blogspot.com | http://twitter.com/app_engine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
