You mean, you just copy-pasted everything or did you actually port the database-related code? FYI, Django's Model class isn't supported on App Engine. You have to use Google's Model API: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/datastore/modelclass.html > > Did you try to add a few logging.info() calls into your backend in > > order to verify that the code gets executed, at all, and in order to > > check which line fails? > > I had more logging calls than non-logging calls.

[...] Did you try to put try: ... except: logging.exception('Raised:') raise around the line that just stopped executing? It could be that an exception gets raised (this definitely happens if you use Django's Model) and then handled by authenticate(), for example. > > It's probably better to have a proxy user in the DB or at least fake a > > user entry (not saved in DB) with a faked key_name, so other code can > > store ReferenceProperties to that fake user. > > This is what everybody keeps telling me...

I just don't know why yet. Well, if there's no DB code I think you can indeed fake the User. I'm just wondering why you need monsters like App Engine and Django for killing a little fly, then. ;) Bye, Waldemar Kornewald --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
