[appengine-java] Re: Is AppEngine down? My site is super-slow, static resources not loading

2009-11-17 Thread Jim McCabe
I have more information on this now.

If I navigate to the active version from the App Engine control panel,
it loads up super fast and works great.  But the domain support from
Google Apps is not working.  I will file a ticket with them instead of
treating this like a GAE issue.

Strange, now it's all good.  But for a good 5-10 minutes, the site was
unusable.  Not just for me in Seattle either - my sister in New York
had the same problem.

[appengine-java] Is AppEngine down? My site is super-slow, static resources not loading

2009-11-17 Thread Jim McCabe
My site was fine yesterday, but right now it's really slow and static
resources like CSS files and images are not loading.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

My site is www.jmccabe.com/jim/

[appengine-java] Re: Weird Life Cycle of Servlet in GAE

2009-10-28 Thread Jim McCabe

To clarify some of the responses - static variables are only shared
among instances of your servlet on that one server.  In GAE, your code
might run on different servers at different times - Google tries to
load-balance your site among its server farm.  So your website might
be running on multiple servers at once, or it might be moving from
machine to machine throughout the day, etc.

You have to think a little differently in an environment like that.
Instead of using static variables, use the memcache services.  It is
fast and the data is shared among all your instances.  Even better, it
can live longer than your individual web server instances.

[appengine-java] Is the Google Collections framework already in deployed environment?

2009-09-16 Thread Jim McCabe

I'd like to start using the Google Collections framework
(ImmutableList, etc) in my AppEngine project.  I see that it is
already available in the SDK but I am wondering if it is safe to
assume that it is present in the production deployed environment.

In other words, is it necessary to explicitly include the JAR in my
WEB-INF/lib directory?

[appengine-java] Re: Exception while deploying JSP Tag Lib Files

2009-09-02 Thread Jim McCabe

Klaus -

I had the same problem, but there is a way to fix it.  Take a look at
the link suggested by Rajeev:

http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/browse_thread/thread/175e70cc0c93ded9

About 75% of the way deep into the thread you'll start to find some
solutions.  For me, there were two things that I had to do (these are
detailed in that thread):

1. Copy tools.jar into the AppEngine lib/shared directory.
2. Modify appcfg.cmd so it fully-qualifies the reference to java.exe
in the JDK/bin directory.

I switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA a month or two ago, and
upgraded to the newest App Engine SDK.  However #1 was still required
on my machine.

Don't give up hope, you're almost there!

[appengine-java] Re: Anyone successfully redirected "naked domain" to their "www" domain with NetworkSolutions?

2009-08-24 Thread Jim McCabe

After a lot of research, and some awful tech support from Network
Solutions, I decided to move to another domain registrar.  I picked
NameCheap.com - the name itself does not inspire confidence but I
found a lot of good reviews, and the services are good.

One nice thing about them is that you can migrate to their DNS for
free, ahead of time.  This turned out to be the solution to my
problem, because I will use their DNS for the next year until my time
runs out with Network Solutions, and then formally move over domains
to them at that point.

Their DNS console is excellent although you have to know a little more
about what you are doing.  I set up a 301 redirect for the naked
domain ("@") to the www subdomain needed by Google, and it works
fantastically well.

[appengine-java] Anyone successfully redirected "naked domain" to their "www" domain with NetworkSolutions?

2009-08-16 Thread Jim McCabe

I manage my domains with Network Solutions (networksolutions.com) and
am having a little trouble figuring out how to redirect requests for
my "naked domain" (like foo.com) to my www subdomain as required by
GAE.  I've set up the CNAME for www and it works great.

Is there anyone here who has used Network Solutions to this?

It looks like they have a "web forwarding" service but that appears
more targeted towards people who want to redirect one domain (one.com)
to a different domain altogether (two.com), instead of one.com to
www.one.com.  Plus, it costs $12/year per domain, which is on top of
their already high yearly cost of like $35/year just for the domain.

Makes me wonder if I should move to a company like GoDaddy where the
redirection is already included in the cheap yearly rate.

I just renewed with Network Solutions for another year (on five
domains) so I'd like to find a way to do this with them at least for
the next year.
