It seems that JDBC API must not have be forbidden on GAE/J .
I have succeeded to use H2 mem db by updating to its latest version[1] and
now DB functionalities have worked on
http://lift-example.appspot.com/index

However, it is not adequate for the practical usages, of course.
FYI, I found an interesting message[2] about a plan to implement
"JDBC to com.google.appengine.api.datastore wrapper"

GAE supports JPA and there's a lot of Lift JPA support... so maybe we can update the example code to use JPA and we'll have persistence via BigTable.

In terms of Comet support (which relies on Actor support), I've got some ideas on how to make the Actors always use the current thread which will mean no spawning threads.  We'll also have to set the default Comet timeout to 25 seconds as to not violate the GAE 30 second max request rule.

Fun stuff to do next week.

Thanks!

David

I may have missed something, but it seems that the combination of scala and
DataNucleus(used via JPA on GAE/J) does not work, as far as I have been trying.
Are there somebody who have succeeded to use scala and JPA on GAE/J?
Can we work around this problem by implementing entity classes in Java?

Hi,

I'm trying to have a simple lift app running on GAE.
The app is generated from the archetype-blank

I can deploy it on GAE, but I'm getting :

Failed LiftFilter


java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.net.InetAddress is a restricted class. Please see the Google App Engine developer's guide for more details.

When running the app on GAE

What do I need to have a simple lift app running on GAE?

A newbie,

FYI, it must be trivial, but I have confirmed that Lift(org.scala_libs.jpa) has
persistence via BigTable through JPA on GAE/J by using entity classes in Java!

[Derek Chen-Becker]

Cool, so the ScalaJPA stuff works fine under GAE?

I have integrated to JPADemo to lift_example, and everybody can try it at
http://lift-example.appspot.com/jpademo/
http://lift-example.appspot.com/jpademo/authors/list
http://lift-example.appspot.com/jpademo/books/list

The data has been really stored in BigTable!
As I wrote, it has been done by JPA with entity classes written in Java.

I have some problems.
For example, in some cases, ScalaEtityManager#find could not find the object.

I mean that it could not find an object,
Model.find[Author](classOf[Author], id) ,
but I got it by the following,
Mode.createNamedQuery[Author]("findAllAuthors").getResultList().filter(_.getId
== id)(0)

I, however, have guessed that problem has not come from ScalaJPA.
It may be from DataNucleus or its driver for GEA's datastore.
I have encountered several weired behaviors in using that datastore.

[Derek Chen-Becker]

Hmmm. I wonder if the following would work:

Model.createQuery[Author]("from Author a where a.id = :id").setParameter("id", id).findOne

If that works it would be more efficient since you would be doing the filter on id in the query instead of after pulling the whole table :)

Yes, "select from net.liftweb.example.model.Authora where a.id = :id"
works well;
I mean that, without "select",
" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: JPQL Query should always start
with SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE"
will be thrown, and in current GAE/J system the class name must be
fully qualified.

And also, I don't know the reason, but Model.find works fine now ;-(

[Derek Chen-Becker]

Doh. There are my Hibernate roots showing through. HQL doesn't require the select (it's implicit if you only have one class to select from). I don't like inconsistent behavior, so that's a little strang about find working again.

Hi,

Could anyone share the impelmentation of your JPA demo in GAE?
Actually I encounter some problem during deploy them in GAE.

a. The keys, GAE do not like Long as Key in OneToMany relation, So I use the Key type provided by GAE
b. Model.mergeAndFlush(author) did not work as I expected. It could not update, and only do insert. So I changed the code
    if (author.id == null) {
       Model.persistAndFlush(author)
    } else {
       val tmp = Model.find(classOf[Author], author.id)
       tmp.get.name = author.name
       Model.mergeAndFlush(tmp.get)
    }
    I think it is some attach/detach problem.

Thanks

Yes, I have also the same phenomenon, and I also have guessed that
there must be such an attache/detach problem.

FYI, I have confirmed that, by using datanucleus-enhancer-1.1.2[1],
Scala can use JPA/JDO on GAE/J without writing any entity classes in Java.

Hi All,

I have made a simple test project http://testinggwe.appspot.com/ . For
new development it good we can use Datastore and JPA but can we deploy
existing project on GAE.

Thanks & Regards
