We have a Java application which uses Spring for dependency injection and dispatching. The initialization of the WebApplicationContext and the DispatcherServlet can take upto 20 seconds. When using a regular webcontainer this is not a problem since initialization is done only once and at container startup.
Unfortunately with GAE it becomes a problem. The application has a low number of requests/min (=1 user request+ 10 system generated requests / 2 minutes) and we are getting a lot of "This request caused a new process to be started for your application, and thus caused your application code to be loaded for the first time. This request may thus take longer and use more CPU than a typical request for your application." The result is having slow performance/long response times when processing user requests and very frequently HardDeadlineExceededError and thus becoming a serious problem I'm curious to know whether other developers have similar issues and how they addressed them. I haven't made up my mind about the resolution strategy for this (tweak Spring, remove Spring, add keep a live pings....)
