[google-appengine] Access to child object key without fetching object (JDO)

2014-01-07 Thread Paul Mazzuca
Is it possible to fetch the key of a child object without going to the datastore to fetch that child object? I know I could store the key as a string in addition to the object, however that seems unnecessary given that the key must already be stored in the parent object for it to be able to f

2014-01-07 Thread Jim
I don't think you're going to find anything like that for GAE Data Store; the Data Store is a NoSQL database technology, and ODBC, while technically a very flexible specification that can be adapted to address a wide range of database technologies, really evolved hand-in-hand with SQL databases.

2014-01-07 Thread Kristopher Giesing
Yes, it's possible to do this with Google App Engine. There are a lot of options; you'll need to make some design decisions to start, and then the documentation can help you with the implementation. First, you need to decide whether the game state should be stored on the server or transient.

Keep in mind that GAE datastore entities are limited to 1MB in size, which might be a significant problem for your images. If so, you'll want to use the blobstore/google cloud storage instead and track the metadata in the datastore. Jeff On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 11:55 AM, Kristopher Giesing wrote:

[google-appengine] Configure static file handler/path via app.yaml or dynamically?

2014-01-07 Thread Gary Mort
With the local SDK, static files have a special handler which can serve their data without requiring the instance to be executing. It strikes me that it would be useful to allow for a redirect handler as well. This would help for static files where you want to store the files in a Google Stora
