You need a publicly accessible IP that Facebook's servers can hit to load the contents of your canvas page. (127.0.0.1 is a special loopback address that is only valid on your computer.)
I suggest using a service like DynDNS to register a host name like myapp.homeip.net and then use their tools to automatically update DNS records with your current IP as it changes (assuming you don't have a static, public IP for your dev machine). Then update your Facebook app settings to point to this host name. If you are behind a firewall/NAT you will need to make a hole in that and/or configure port forwarding. When you start your local server you will need to bind it to your LAN address instead of loopback. Eg. "-a 192.168.1.1" I have also found it useful to create two separate Facebook apps. One for testing where it points to your dev machine and one for production that points to Google. -Chris On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 11:09 AM, nacho <vela.igna...@gmail.com> wrote: > This is more a facebook apps question, but i would like if some gae > developers have experience doing this. > > I need to develop a Facebook app, and i want to do my back in gae and > my front in gwt.
