[appengine-java] Developers being removed from permissions list
I have added a developer to my app engine project simply to send mail. (no-re...@myapp.com). This is a real email address. I verified the invite and everything was fine. A few days later, users are not receiving confirmation emails, sent from no-reply. It turns out he was removed from the developers permission list. I am the only person able to change the permission list, and I didn't remove him. What caused this to happen? Is this something I need to keep an eye on? What is the appropriate way to handle no-reply addresses if this is not the suggested approach? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine for Java group.

[appengine-java] Problem with CSS on deployment
Since I upgraded to the latest SDK my css has been acting really weird. On random deployments my CSS does not load at all. I then redeploy my site a few times with no code changes, and the CSS works fine. I tried to look at the CSS in chrome. If I open the resources panel and click on my main.css I see nothing, but if I click on the resource, it opens it fine in a new tab. Once the CSS is working again this does not happen, I can see the file in the resource window. This is a pretty big problem for me, sometimes redeployment needs to be done 5-6 times and takes about 10 min. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine for Java group.

[appengine-java] Re: Probably a newbie question (most likely)
Don't you need to persist the thread as well as the comment? It's
hard to analyze your code with such a small sample. Does addComment
persist the thread? My
guess is that something is making the transaction fail, probably
cause you are trying to operate on two different entity groups. I
would simply store the comment as it's own entity and when you want
all the comments simply do a query for comments with parentKey ==
ThreadKey.

Hi all.
First of all I have to admit: I havent read all the docs.
I had a small app running, it basically has this:
A User:
@PersistenceCapable(detachable = true)
@FetchGroup(name = _post, members = { @Persistent(name = posts) })
public class User implements Serializable{
@PrimaryKey
@Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
private Key key;
@Persistent(mappedBy = user, defaultFetchGroup = true)
@Element(dependent = true)
private ListPost posts;
}
A thread :
@PersistenceCapable(detachable = true)
@FetchGroup(name = _user, members = { @Persistent(name = user)})
public class Thread implements Serializable {
@PrimaryKey
@Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
private Long key;
@Persistent(defaultFetchGroup = true)
@Element(dependent = true)
private User user;
...
}
So now I want to add comments, each comment will have: the user that made
the comment, and the thread that it belongs to, and some other fields:
@PersistenceCapable(detachable = true)
public class ThreadComment implements Serializable{
@PrimaryKey
@Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
private Key key;
@Persistent(defaultFetchGroup = true)
@Element(dependent = true)
private User user;
@Persistent(defaultFetchGroup = true)
@Element(dependent = true)
private Thread thread;
...
}
I changed the Thread to include a list of comments:
@PersistenceCapable(detachable = true)
@FetchGroup(name = _user, members = { @Persistent(name =
comments),@Persistent(name
= user)})
public class Thread implements Serializable {
@Persistent(defaultFetchGroup = true)
@Element(dependent = true)
private ListThreadComment comments;
}
My problem is that meanwhile this works in memory when I try to persist the
ThreadComment
PersistenceManager pm = getPMF();
Transaction tx = pm.currentTransaction();
tx.begin();
thread.addComment(comment);
pm.makePersistent(comment);
tx.commit();
pm.close();
the code gets excecuted but I don't see the comment in the database (in fact
the logs show no db activity either)
So I don't see an exception, the code gets excecuted but I don't see the
comment in the DB.
I already have the db with soem threads without comments, this is a new
feature
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? (please don't say everything :D )
Thanks!

[appengine-java] Re: Help With Data Modeling (And Performance Questions)
I think you should ask yourself what data you need from the user. I
know this might not seem like the best way(in a RDBM), but you might
want to store the information from the user, in the clip. Especially
if it is information that doesn't change very often like user name.
That way you have the information each time you load the clip and
don't even have to run those expensive queries. The added work is
that when a user changes their user name, you need to update a bunch
of records, but you can do that in a task queue and it probably
doesn't happen nearly as often as looking at a list of clips does .

(kind of like YouTube).
Currently, the Clip entity is as follows
//
private long userId;
So userId is the id of the person who made that clip. Since I want to load
the User object when I load a record, I take my list of recordings (never
above 20) and do something like this:
SELECT FROM User s WHERE s.id = userIdOfFirst OR s.id = userIdOfSecond
OR.
This works, and I create a MapLong, User which now allows me to lookup
users by ID in my app when displaying data to the user, but is this the most
efficient way of doing it? I was looking at storing a private Key user,
because I know I can't do private User user, but I don't know if replacing
it with Keys would be a lot more efficient since that long is just a key.
So does that big OR query have any performance implications? Would I be
better off doing something like:
ListUser relevantUsers = new LinkedListUser();
for (Clip clip : allMyClips) {
relevantUsers.add(em.load(clip.getUserId()));
}
Using the em.load should be really quick because right now the long IS the
key.
Can someone just fill in these gaps for me on my confusion?

[appengine-java] Re: Reposting question on jsp include.
Each page is pre-compiled for the live app. On the development server pages are compiled on the fly. This means that you have to pass your variables as parameters or attributes. I believe the best design pattern is to have a servlet catch your page request, create all the variables you need to display the view, then forward the page to the view with the variables stored as request attributes.

[appengine-java] Re: hard time modeling my database
So you are worried that a user will be deleted and his key will still be linked to the book? You can't rely on the database to do that work for you. You can do this two ways, worry about it, and when you delete a user, make sure you delete it's key from every book. Or don't worry about it. If you do your queries right, having a non existent user stored in a book won't cause any problems. But I would recommend removing it when a user gets deleted.

[appengine-java] Re: hard time modeling my database
You want to store the Key of the User not the actual User. If you
store the User you are creating an owned relationship. This means
that the user can only be owned by one book. What you want is an
unowned relationship, which means storing the keys. Then your query
stays the same except you will need to add query.import(import Key)

Just add a Tags list to User and a User list to Tag. This way you can search for Users with a given tag or Tags that has been used by a given user. Its still the same structure you just add another set of lists. If you do this, you will be able to quickly process each query you listed in your original post. If you are still looking to do more, another possible query that you wouldn't be able to do with this structure would be helpful.

Say, I have my own class like,
GCalendar(String date, String day, String time, String content)
The variable date can be either a Date object or simply a String

and retrieved.
Since an instance of this class represents one event, I want an array
of this class like,
ListGCalendargcalendar = new ArrayListGCalendar();
After obtaining data, I want to store them into Bigtable, so
//-
PersistenceManager pm = PMF.get().getPersistenceManager();
for (int j = 0; j gcalendar.size(); j++){
try {
pm = PMF.get().getPersistenceManager();
pm.makePersistent(gcalendar.get(j));
} finally {
pm.close();
}}
//-
Is this enough?
The reason I'm asking is that I have no idea what is being stored as
the instance, namely pm.
GCalendar object, maybe?
Once the program is executed, it seems like some data is stored, even
if a part of it produces errors.
How can I erase the entire data in order to start from scratch?
If I can find out what is now stored with PersistenceManager, it seems
easier to continue fixing errors.

[appengine-java] Re: Struggling w/datastore relationship
This is not the way that I would do it. First, this is the JAVA app engine group that code looks like python as is the link you referenced. The way I have found in app engine to be able to make the fastest queries is to use lists of keys in each object to manage relationships. so your model would look like this. USER has a list of URL's and a URL has a list of USER's This way you can find all the URL's of a user by Query query = pm.newQuery(URL.class); query.setFilter(userId == userParam); query.declareParameters(Key userParam); query.declareImport(import com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Key ); ListURL myURLs = (ListURL) query.execute(userId); Or find all the USER's that hold a URL Query query = pm.newQuery(USER.class); query.setFilter(urlId == urlParam); query.declareParameters(Key urlParam); query.declareImport(import com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Key ); ListUSER urlUsers = (ListUSER) query.execute(urlId); I usually put this in a static function in my class public static USER getUserFromURL(urlId) Same goes for URL's and TAG's What then do you have to worry about. When a user removes a URL you have to remove it from the USER and the URL. This means more work when a change happens but reads happen much more often than writes(a mind set you need to accept to work on app engine) so we optimize for the reads not the writes. Watch this google IO lecture to see even more about this including ways to handle your user having 2000+ URL's http://www.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/BuildingScalableComplexApps.html If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

this is a pretty good discussion on building apps that have lots of

exams is a user going to have? 100, 200? This is still a tiny number
and if you went with RB's method or the one in the link I posted, you
have to run a separate query each time, which has its own costs. I
think either way is fine until you start having users that have
thousands of exams.

There is also a good post on the various ways of handling 1 to many
relationships using Objectify. What appeared to be something that
would work in your situation (which is like my situation) is what I
think of as the database approach. What I mean by that is, if you
had a 1 to many relationship, how would you model that in a database?
Specifically if 1 User can have Many Exams, you would have...
User table
* userId
* Other user fields
Exam table
* examId
* userId
* Other exam fields
So, turning this into GWT/Objectify, it would be
public class User {
@Id private Long id;
// Other user fields
}
public class Exam{
@Id private Long id;
private KeyUser userKey;
// Other exam fields
}
The way to find all the exams for a particular user (represented by

Objectify ofy = ObjectifyService.begin();
KeyUser userKey = new KeyUser(User.class, this.id);
ListExam result = ofy.query(Exam.class).filter(userKey,

I am not expert in dataStore this is just what I would do:
Add new entity with fields:
ID OrderID UserID ExamID PageID QuestionID AnswerID
Yes it is a lot of redundant data, but simple.
When user starts new Exam, all data are created with AnswerID set to
general answer unAnswer. After that you just update AnswerID.
What are obstacle in design like this?

[appengine-java] Re: storing unowned objects(one to many) in datastore
Why do you want to store both in the same transaction? To me, it seems
transactions are used to guarantee two things happen. eg. you don't
want to delete one record without making sure the a log of deleted
records is updated. Transactions are also used to prevent collisions,
eg. I don't want two users adding to a counter at the same time and
one of their adds is lost.
It seems neither of these is likely. It is unlikely that a new Person
will be created and before the system can save their mobile, some
other user will try and edit it. It is also unlikely that either of
these will fail and not fail gracefully. If you try and add a user in
one transaction then try to add a mobile in a second transaction
either both will succeed or fail. Same outcome as a single
transaction. Or one of the two fails and you simply try it again or
delete the one that didn't fail and inform the user.
If you really need a single transaction you can put both items in the
same entity group using a key builder.
You can see an example here under Creating Entities With Entity Groups
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/transactions.html

Hi,
If they don't belong to the same entity group, you will raise an
exception by trying to store 2 objects in a single transaction.
2 ways to handle that:
a) you make Mobile belong to same entity group as Person so you'll
be able to store both in a single transaction. I understand in your
question that you can't go this way.
b) you store one let's say Person in first transaction and during
this transaction, you start a task as part of the transaction: You
can enqueue a task as part of a datastore transaction, such that the
task is only enqueued—and guaranteed to be enqueued—if the transaction
is committed successfully. Tasks added within a transaction are
considered to be a part of it and have the same level of isolation and
consistency. as said
inhttp://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/taskqueue/overview.html#Ta...
Hope it helps

Can we store two unowned objects(one to many) in datastore in a single
transaction.
For example - We have
public class Person {
@PrimaryKey
�...@persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
@Persistent
private String name;
@Persistent
private ListKey mobileIds = new ArrayListKey();
//
//.
}
public class Mobile {
�...@primarykey
@Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
private Key mobileId;
// ...
//
}
I want to store these two objects in datastore in single transaction so that
relation can be made in between both objects.
Tell me if any other solution is there ?

[appengine-java] JTidy
I am trying to use JTidy in Eclipse. I add JTidy jar to the build path and add the jar again as the source attachment. When I make a tidy object it shows up as a org.w3c.tidy.Tidy. but when I run my app i get the error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/tidy/Tidy. Am I not adding the jar correctly?

[appengine-java] Re: Do I need unowned relationships to accomplish this...?
The way I understand it, if an object can be owned by more than one object it must be unowned. I would assume that cards can be in multiple decks so they must be unowned. I would assume each deck would belong to one user so decks could be owned. I don't know a good way to store cards that can be queried in one query unless you have each card store what decks they are in. This could be even more difficult if cards appear more than once in a deck. If that is true I would suggest a join table. On Mar 10, 2:20 pm, tempy fay...@gmail.com wrote: I have the following datastructure: Users are the root entities, and each user can have one or more decks, and each deck can have one or more cards. When a user wants to add a deck, I would like to be able to add the deck to the user's collection of decks without first fetching all of the user's decks (potentially a large amount of data), then adding the new deck to that collection, and then persisting the user. Rather, I would like to simply instantiate the deck and append it to the user's collection of decks, without ever retrieving the entire collection. Similarly, if a user wants to add a new card to an existing deck, I would like to add the card to the deck without first retrieving the entire deck (that is, the deck with all of its cards). I would like to preserve the option of fetching a user with a populated collection of all their decks and to retrieve a deck with a populated collection of all its cards, which is possible with owned relationships. But to accomplish what I have mentioned above, would I be forced to use unowned relationships? (Collections of keys instead of collections of objects.)
