[appengine-java] Reading Blobstore data
Hello, I'm trying to simply read blobstore data without using the .serve() method. It seems like I can use the .fetchData() method, but the parameters needed are unclear to me and how I would generate them. I just need to read all the bytes. For example if I store a plain/text file in the blobstore, I want to read it as a String so that I can parse it and do something else with it. Any ideas?

[appengine-java] .getKey().getId()
.getKey().getId() returns an incremental number (starts from 1) on the development server. However on the live server (when I deploy it to Google) this number is quite large, for example 22007. How come? Can I get incremental numbers starting from 1 on the live server as it is on the development server? Thanks.

[appengine-java] Some details on how GAE actually works
App Engine has been abstracting all their implementation details away from the developer, which is great. I'm however a little curious in knowing how their infrastructure works... not only how it works but also how it scales geographically. Living in Europe this has a strong impact on my decision to use App Engine or not. Has any detail been delivered by Google on this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine for Java group.

Re: [appengine-java] What are you opinions about yesterdays announced opensource Cloudcoundry PaaS
I think it's still a mystery so far. They seem to want to follow App Engine's philosophy and free the developer from all the sys-admin work, yet they provide implementation details (MySQL, Redis, and MongoDB are listed on their site). This means that the developer will still need to do some sys-admin work based on the implementation of data-storage they choose, unless they provide APIs that work for all those different implementations - I doubt it since data is stored very differently in MySQL compared to MongoDB. So I think it's just another cloud-hosting provider (think of RackSpace), and I have no idea how they're going to scale MySQL :).

[appengine-java] Owned relationship. Lost reference
I have a Recipe entity that contains two images: @PersistenceCapable(identityType = IdentityType.APPLICATION, detachable=true) public class Recipe { @PrimaryKey @Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY) private Key key; @Persistent private MyImage myImage; // full-size image @Persistent private MyImage thumb; // 224x230 thumbnail version of the above When I persist this to the datastore, the images are stored correctly. However the issue comes when I try referencing the images using `.getMyImage()` and `.getThumb()`. They both point to the same object even though I can see in the datastore viewer that they are two images of different size. If they are stored in the datastore corretly this means that there's an issue with how I reference the object I suppose. Why is this? This is the object I persist, and as you can see the `myImage` and `thumb` objects are different (not showing the code for them, but trust me they are). Recipe recipe = new Recipe(user.getKey(), title, new Text(content), myImage, thumb, tagsAsStrings); Any ideas why I keep on referencing the same object? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine for Java group.

[appengine-java] Object Manager has been closed - solution other than detaching

This works fine, however it becomes a little crazy when my Objects contain child objects that need to be detached as well.

Hello Simon, even if I persist it doing try { r.setImage(newImage); pm.makePersistent(newImage); } finally { pm.close(); } I still get the same results. The interesting thing is that if I delete the image entity from the datastore, the recipe points to the next one. Maybe there's some reference issue happening that I need to fix. Don't know.

Re: [appengine-java] Re: Blobstore API vs Datastore API
I decided to go with datastore since I'll be storing simple thumbnail images - nothing more than 100kb. I'm a bit afraid of the 30s limit but I suppose it makes sense for Google. I work for a bioinformatics group known at global level and I'm trying to show my team the power of App Engine; hopefully I can give them enough good examples to make a radical business change happen towards App Engine. It's funny because some colleagues have doubted the uptime of Google and disaster recovery scene, saying that we should have in-house hosting for reliability - but I find it ridiculous because there's a lot more chance of our in-house network going down rather than Google going down.

Sorry, clicked on send before finishing my question. Why does AppEngine set API limitations when I could just as easily use a third-party library for manipulation and avoid this limitation?

[appengine-java] Blobstore API vs Datastore API
After spending almost half a day implementing the Blobstore API locally I realized only after uploading that it actually to have billing enabled in order to work. I'm not exactly happy with that because I wish the dev_appserver would've told me. Anyhow, I don't feel like giving out my credit-card to Google for this feature since I just want to test my little project and how it behaves, performance wise, with Google's free option. So after googling a bit I found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1513603/how-to-upload-and-store-an-image-with-google-app-engine-java Which basically uses the datastore to store a Blob of the image. I'm wondering, if this is possible, why is Google charging for the Blobstore API? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine for Java group.

[appengine-java] Can I set GAE's dev_appserver to automatically reload context when I change .class files?
Hello everybody! I'm using Google AppEngine with their built in web server. My development goes about in a simple way: I make changes to my .java sources or .jsp and compile using ant and to see the changes I have to restart the development server. I'm wondering if there's a way I can avoid this last step of restarting my development server - somehow refresh the cached classes context of my web-server. The options provided by Google on this dev server are quite limited and am wondering if there's a better way. I would like to avoid using something like JRebel which I could buy, but for this simple project I'm just wondering if I can remove the burden of restarting my web-server... otherwise I'll live with it.
