On Apr 7, 5:18 pm, Nick Johnson (Google) nick.john...@google.com wrote: Hi Dhruv, While this is an interesting project, providing direct access to the datastore from client-side code has very serious security implications. Any user can manipulate your data in any way, exposing private user data, modifying data, or erasing it. Hello Nick, I agree with you. Any app. that uses this, would have to hook onto every datastore URL request(put_entity/get_entity, etc..) and check the credentials of the requester. That alone would not be sufficient since anyone (authenticated user) could potentially query the datastore and get any user's details out. So, I am guessing this isn't good to store user details, but for implementing something that doesn't require authentication like an etherpad (not quite since I guess the etherpad URL is known only to the creator and people he/she shares it with), it could probably be worked out. Either ways, I thought of doing this as an exercise in javascript and a tool that provides a low entry barrier for anyone who wnats to learn about the appengine datastore and try things out themselves without going through the rigmarole (not quite the word I was looking for since you guys have made it _really_ simple to deploy apps; +1 to the appengine team!!) of creating a sample app. Regards, -Dhruv. -Nick Johnson On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 6:02 AM, dhruvbird dhruvb...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all, I was just trying out some stuff and managed to get data store query working from javascript on the browser.http://gaequery.appspot.com/ So, I made an appspot app. for demonstrating that.

[google-appengine] Re: Proper way to send e-mail
Even we have been trying to work around this issue. As an aside, users who are currently logged in (if you are using google's auth) can ALSO send email (email can have that ID as the from ID) if I have read the docs. correctly. So, if you want to do background sending, you can send the email from: users+realuse...@yourdomain.com So that when you get a reply to that ID, you know who it is for. We also set up catch all handlers since there is no restriction on the To address when recieving mail. So, realuse...@yourdomain.com is also valid. Regards, -Dhruv.

Hello, I had a few questions about the appengine data store. 1. Is there any way to tell the data store to not index expando's dynamic properties? 2. Suppose I have a model: class Foo(db.Expando): mem1 = db.IntegerProperty(indexed=True, blah..) Then, I add the attribute mem2 (at runtime): foo = Foo(mem1=100) foo.mem2=200 foo.put() And then run a task queue which adds mem2 for every entity of kind Foo that doesn't have it. All future entities created will always have it (say): foo = Foo(mem1=blah, mem2=blah-blah) foo.put() Now, I redefine class Foo as: class Foo(db.Expando): mem1 = db.IntegerProperty(indexed=True, blah..) mem2 = db.IntegerProperty(indexed=False, blah) What will happen if I upload this new definition and use it with the same data in the data store? Also, what will happen if the type of mem2 is changed from IntegerPropery to StringProperty, but the mem2 attributes has only Integers stored?
