war size too large (exceeding 32M)

[Kent Tong]

Hi,

Just the empty webapp created from the Google App Engine archetype creates a war file of 43M. When I upload it, it will give an error saying that it is larger than 32M. Is there anything fundamentally wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any help!

What is the specific name of the archetype you're using, and how are you building and deploying? None of the archetypes from com.google.appengine.archetypes have files anywhere near that size.

Are you perhaps trying to upload your entire app's WAR as a single static file?

Thanks for the reply!

I used the "skeleton-archetype".

What do you mean? I was trying to update the webapp with "mvn appengine:update".

The archetype called 'skeleton-archetype' hasn't been updated since App Engine 1.7.5 circa 2013. Use the 'appengine-skeleton-archetype' or one of the other archetypes listed in the documentation.
