I am trying to connect to the datastore from within the confines of an app. The app (client) is currently looping through an array of strings, where every string is a URL to a pic. The client is periodically bugging the server for some data that it then displays to the user. This is all static and has no user interaction. http://cd-jks-countdown-app-v2.appspot.com/
The ideal is to allow the user to search the DB by any number of filters (first name, last name, event, ,,, ) So I am setting up the client to capture the user's search parameters and pass them to the server, I am trying to get the server to build a query and ask the DB for the correct result set. The server would then pass the list of strings to the client and the client would only loop through those photos. This implies, however, that I can: 1. Connect to the DB. 2, Pass the query to the DB and get a result set back 3. That I can load data to the DB to be queried against. I think I have the "Add data" part correct: PersistenceManager.persist(entity). I think I have the entity correct. Basically a standard bean with getter and setters for the instance variables, with the exception of the primary kay (auto assigned Long), and a few annotation tags. I think I have the query portion correct. Dynamically builds the WHERE clause based on the parameters passed to it: if (firstName != null) query.append(blah) (There is lots of information, online, about what to do when you have the connection) I haven't, however, figured out how to create the DB connection for the server to use. (There isn't any information about how to establish the connection, in Java at least) This is supposed to be a learning app, its only my second GWT app, but it is rapidly becoming an exercise in extreme frustration.
