In the documentation of cron jobs (see http://code.google.com/intl/de-CH/appengine/docs/java/config/cron.html#Cron_and_App_Versions) it says that "Cron requests are always sent to the default version of the application."
This may be correct, but is a very short statement of what actually happens, leaving imho some questions unanswered. We have uploaded a new version of an app, which was the first version that contained a cron.xml. Therefore we saw only an error in the log saying "No handlers matched this URL.". After some thinking, we came to the obvious conclusion that cron jobs go to the default version (see above). So far, so good. But what happens now of there are several versions of cron.xml deployed with different app versions? Is each of the cron jobs of possibly multiple versions executed? Or is cron.xml a singleton? Does it make sense to execute cron.xml from other versions than the default version (in our case it did not do any harm, as the handler was not present, but this may well happen in other cases)? At least I would appreciate to see some documentation about which cron.xml is/are active at a given time, to be able to exercise the necessary control over cron.xml deployment. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
