After a bit of experimentation I have managed to get a Restlet/Freemarker
stack running on GAE.

The basic steps I took were :

1. Modify ServletConverter and ServletContextAdapter as detailed below.

Basically this means replacing the calls to new ServletLogger with
Logger.getLogger e.g. in the ServletConverter constructor do something
like...

super(new Context(Logger.getLogger(ServletConverter.class.getName(;

2. Add org.freemarker.jar, org.restlet.jar, org.restlet.ext.servlet.jar and
org.restlet.ext.freemarker.jar to the WEB-INF/lib of your google app project
and add to the build path.

3. Follow usual setup for getting Restlet working in a Servlet environment.
Folow the HelloWorld tutorial in the getting started docs -  it should work
fine locally (even without doing step 1. However, you'll need to replace
these calls in order to get it to run in the real GAE)

4.  Freemarker was a little more tricky, but not much.  Create a freemarker
configuration that uses the class template loader and put this in the
Restlet Application context attributes.

5. Make sure your templates are somewhere on the class path.

6. Use the TemplateRepresentation along with your freemarker config from the
context attributes

7. Make sure it works locally and upload to the app engine.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to write 

RE: Re: Google AppEngine and Restlet

Hi Zsolt,

Restlet/GWT should definitely work with GAE. From a GAE point of view,
everything will look like compiled Javascript files served statically by
your Restlet/GAE application. 

On the server-side, you can definitely use Restlet instead of GWT-RPC. The
GwtShellServletWrapper is even included in the "org.restlet.gae.jar" file.
http://www.restlet.org/documentation/snapshot/gae/org/restlet/util/GwtShellS
ervletWrapper.html

Let us know if you encounter any difficulty.

Hi Remi,
 
As long as the extension only relies on GAE's white listed JRE classes, it
will work without any modification (example: the FreeMarker extension). Your
dream can come true already :-)
 
In the recent version of "org.restlet.gae.jar", the packages are the same as
in "org.restlet.jar" so it should be easy to leverage Restlet extensions
that are compatible with GAE.

RE: Re: Google AppEngine and Restlet

Hi Richy,

Thanks for sharing your experience!

When I did the adaptation of Restlet to GAE (resulting in the new
"org.restlet.gae.jar" available in recent snapshots), I took the source code
and had to remove many classes that didn't compile due to the lack of
sockets and SSL support (mainly the internal connectors).

I'm surprised that the "org.restlet.jar" works despite this and I'm not sure
if we should support this usage scenario. In addition, "org.restlet.gae.jar"
includes the ServerServlet, the JavaMail and the JDK's Net connectors. In
the future, it will leverage other GAE APIs.

Regarding FreeMarker, the ContextTemplateLoader I just added to SVN trunk
will probably help simplifying its usage in GAE with Restlet. Let me know if
you have a chance to test it.

Objet : RE: Re: Google AppEngine and Restlet

After a bit of experimentation I have managed to get a Restlet/Freemarker
stack running on GAE.

The basic steps I took were :

1. Modify ServletConverter and ServletContextAdapter as detailed below.

Basically this means replacing the calls to new ServletLogger with
Logger.getLogger e.g. in the ServletConverter constructor do something
like...

super(new Context(Logger.getLogger(ServletConverter.class.getName(;

2. Add org.freemarker.jar, org.restlet.jar, org.restlet.ext.servlet.jar and
org.restlet.ext.freemarker.jar to the WEB-INF/lib of your google app project
and add to the build path.

3. Follow usual setup for getting Restlet working in a Servlet environment.
Folow the HelloWorld tutorial in the getting started docs -  it should work
fine locally (even without doing step 1. However, you'll need to replace
these calls in order to get it to run in the real GAE)

4.  Freemarker was a little more tricky, but not much.  Create a freemarker
configuration that uses the class template loader and put this in the
Restlet Application context attributes.

5. Make sure your templates are somewhere on the class path.

6. Use the TemplateRepresentation along with your freemarker config from the
context attributes 

7. Make sure it works locally and upload to the app engine.  

Hopefully I'll get a chance to write this up properly over easter, but it
wasn't too bad and looks promising so far.

Cheers,
