How to build large apps with GWT/GAE?

[dflorey]

Are there any plans to provide tools to support large apps with GWT / GAE?

If an app supports multiple locales, browsers, gears etc. you can easily end up with many dozens of permutations. 

As the total application size is currently limited to 150 MB on the GAE this causes problems for larger applications.

I've been thinking of a solution where different permutations or modules would be served from the blobstore instead of static file space but I have no idea how to implement such a GAE linker or which classes have to be adjusted.

In an ideal world the Google plugin would take care of uploading the fragments to the blobstore when deploying the app :-)

Any ideas?

Could you serve the static content (including GWT permutations) from a different web server (could be one of those free PHP web servers), and still host the Java code in App Engine?

For security reasons the app should be served from a single server.

I think the best solution would be to use the new FileService in app engine to host the compiled fragments.

It may be doable already by mapping a service to the .js url and serve the content from the blobstore, but it would be awesome if this could be handled automagically by the Google plugin.
