I tried to install self signed ssl certificate on my local java home directory but it does not help me. Any on faced this problem ? how to tackle this problem ? please help

Any particular reason you need to test https in dev?

If you really must do SSL with the SDK you can nginx as a reverse proxy in front of the GAE SDK and have nginx handle HTTPS and serving the certificate.

We have the following setup:

 - A digicert signed SSL cert for https://www.foo.com, which is our production 'version'

 - A self-signed wildcard cert (free) for https://*.www.foo.com, which we use for all our remote testing (e.g. * = dev, staging, beta, etc)

 - No cert for local testing, all local requests are to http://

To enable this mix we do two things:

1. Where 'absolute' urls are necessary, we make them protocol relative - i.e. "//www.foo.com/bar"

2. We have some application logic that ensures the right protocol is used where necessary (there isnt much of this, and it's factored out)

Between all those things, we dont find it necessary to test SSL/https in a local environment.

Are you using App Engine's built-in sessions support, or using another framework to maintain session state?
