Change the web.xml and remove the reference to the DTD. The problem may actually not be from the appengine but from the java.sun.com server... I also faced this issue several times and found that everytime the dashboard / appengine server was up. On scruitiny, I found that the problem was caused because the java.sun.com server was not available (after aquisition by Oracle).
You can change the "<!DOCTYPE web-app...><web-app>" lines to one line as follows follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> -- Happy Hacking, Gaurav Vaish http://www.mastergaurav.com On Nov 23, 1:31 pm, Sumanth AS <sumanth.a...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, i ve created a simple hello world application and have also got an > app id registered. but i am unable to deploy the app to the server. i > m getting an exception which is java.net.ConnectException. plz help me > out. thanks in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
