[jira] Created: (CLK-560) Google App Engine support
Google App Engine support
-------------------------
Key: CLK-560
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-560
Project: Click
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Bob Schellink
Assignee: Bob Schellink
Fix For: 2.1.0
Google App Engine (GAE) provides free Java hosting and an ideal solution for startups or student wanting to host their applications.
This JIRA is to provide out-of-the-box support for Click applications.
Here are the issues enountered thus far:
1. - OGNL SecurityManager has to be set to null. This can be achived via a new ServletContextListener in the extras package.
2. - GAE doesn't support writing to the file system so Click cannot deploy its resources on the fly. Instead users will have to package resources within the war itself. Servlet 3.0 may come to the rescue as it allows serving static resources from the META-INF/resources folder. Very similar to Click's auto deployment from META-INF/web, except Servlet 3.0 serves resources directly from this location without having to deploy them.
3. - FileUpload doesn't work out of the box as it writes to the file system. Should look at a Memory FileItem or somesuch solution.
4. - GAE's appengine-web.xml must be setup to exclude serving *.htm resources (if PerformanceFilter is used png, gif, css and js files should also be excluded)

Bob Schellink commented on CLK-560:
-----------------------------------
Yes, we should try and align with the spec and rename our auto-deployment folder from META-INF/web to META-INF/resources. In ConfigService we can check the servlet major version whether resources should be deployed or left to the container to serve. See #4 here: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/mode/archive/2009/04/servlet_30_pfd.html
An interim solution for 2.1.0 final could be as follows: move all static resources under 'META-INF/web'. IDE's such as Eclipse, Netbeans and Intellij makes it easy to view the content of jars and provides an easy way to copy out all resources from the jar to the web application root folder. Currently its a bit of a pain as one needs to deploy the application to say, Tomcat, to find all resources deployed under the 'click' folder.

-----------------------------------
Item #2 - is an issue for WebLogic and I believe WebSphere too, so I think we will need to develop a solution for this problem
