Thanks for the contribution Ed - if you could elaborate (a little) on what you mean by/what happens for you when you "copy the jars into the project" I'd appreciate that. I've got options selected to run GAE from my 'WAR' directory, but I'm not aware of any JARs being copied to my WEB-INF/lib - indeed when they do occasionally get copied, that stops the datanucleus enrichment from working. I've also tried with the 'export' flag set on the build path configuration, with no change overall.
Some updates/corrections from me: * The current problem definitely seems to be runtime/classpath/ classloader related - I'm getting ClassNotFound (CNF) exceptions on JDO implementation classes (i.e. not the implementations, but the concrete classes needed at runtime). I'd expect these to be coming from the GAE class library set - I can find them in jdo-xxx-eb-xx.jar (sorry for the hazy jar name, I'm in the day job, not in my dev environment at the time of writing). Annotation/enrichment works fine. * I'm using an Eclipse Dynamic Web Project, not a Google Web App Project as originally stated. As noted before, between SDK upgrades this works fine so I know that's not a problem. * I have altered the library order as per other threads (GAE needs to be before Web App). * I have seen the thread about long paths in the classpath (known issue with 1.3.8) - I have copied my plugin/SDK to a much shorter path location and regconfigured my project and still reproduced the same runtime CNF problems so that's not the issue. Given cumulative problems I've experienced with Google's dev environment/support, I'm now considering ditching the Google approach and going to a purer, more open cloud hosting model (poss AWS). Problems for me include: * facebook apis redundant, but not flagged as such * no full map/reduce api (got map, but no reduce) * SDK/plugin instability (this issue) * interplay problems with GAE and other tools (Vaadin for myself, looks like Flex also has issues) * no entry-level adwords/adsense solution for GWT (ajax) front-ends. Hardly a strong manifesto. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
