Re: Deploy to Google App Engine (GAE)

No worries not posting the POMs Tim.

The bit I'm struggling with, the old Java 8 version had its own GAE server.  So I would run that, and a GWT Code Server.  Easy!

btw: I'm talking about GAE Standard.  GAE Flexible you can do whatever you want, but that's more work and more expensive.

Now with the upgrade to Java17 on GAE, there isn't a web server included anymore.  It's up to you to supply one.  I would assume when you deploy it, it doesn't actually use your server, but what setup is GAE expecting for the deploy?

I see there is a SpringBoot GAE example, so it might be easier to use that, and get GWT to work with SpringBoot.  Not sure.  Very interested to hear what you're doing.

Thanks!

For some years I've been deploying GWT 2.8.2 to GAE with Maven & Google Cloud Tools.
I now find GAE is not supporting Java 8 after January, so currently upgrading (rather slowly).
There are 4 long POM files,  probably better to mail them then post a distilled version here ?

Hi,

The instructions here https://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/tutorial/appengine.html are no longer valid, as the Google Plugin for Eclipse is now dead (Google no longer supports Java 1.8, and the Google Plugin for Eclipse doesn't support any Eclipse versions that support anything after Java 1.8).  Ref:  https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-eclipse/issues/3710

The new approach with GAE is to use Maven or Gradle with Google Cloud Tools.

I've been struggling to work out how this is supposed to happen.  It looks like we now have to provide our own Web Server for GAE, but can we use the Jetty server that GWT uses for development?  I assume the deploy build would not include the Jetty web server?

If anyone has deployed a GWT app to GAE with Maven and the new Google Cloud Tools, it would be great if you could give high level instructions on how it's all supposed to fit together.

An example Maven POM file with both the Google Cloud Tools, and GWT would be even better.  🙂

Thanks!
