Hi, I want to build a GAE app that will have the following general architecture:
Installed clients (mono on desktops and iphone) that will authenticate and then get/put/delete user-specific data to the GAE app. (The data is not public, users should not be able to see each other's data.) Then, GAE itself will host a website that will allow users to access and do stuff with the data created by the clients. I am trying to figure out how exactly the clients will connect to GAE. I read about the Authentication API and that sounds pretty much like what I need. But as far as the clients communicating with the GAE app, I figure my choices are REST or a SOAP web-service. I would much prefer to go with REST but SOAP would also do. So I've been trying to figure out whether either of these are supported and how to implement them, and the fragmented documentation out there is really making me feel like a newbie (which I am.) As for REST, I found this publicly available code: http://github.com/fczuardi/gae-rest/tree/master http://code.google.com/p/appengine-rest-server/ For SOAP, I found this blog post which seems to lay things out more or less clearly: http://www.ioncannon.net/web-services/180/soap-on-the-google-app-engine-platform/ I am still not quite sure if any of these approaches would do exactly what I need, so in hoping that I would save myself a day or two of research/trial-and-error I am posting here, and wondering if anyone has already accomplished this (REST or SOAP to allow installed clients to authenticate and then get/put/delete data particular to them.)
