I had the opposite experience, it was a few clicks really in Eclipse. Having seen some of the limitations since, well, that's another story. I'd agree there's a lot of hampering factors in getting a lot of apps running. The one thing which really bothers me is lock-in, porting an app after going through the GAE hoops would be tricky. I guess Capedwarf is an out if needed (I imagine it would have the same limitations if its mirrors GAE?). > > The OAuth part of it is a joke . > Even if you are already logged in to gmail and have the email address > listed under permis(sions ,the authentication fails and it doesn't let you > retry authentication.

I don't particularly care for any of the authentication options for my use case. I think with my app at the moment it seems to vary between asking for a Google account login first, then my custom auth. Sometimes it doesn't.

I'm thinking you've had a frustrating time, I can only guess its shoe-horning something that doesn't fit the GAE model into GAE (had a few similar frustrations). The limitations are making me regret choosing it. All I really want to do is write to a central log file from each frontend instance, and that is proving painful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
