Create shapefile on Appengine preferably on Java

[Pedro Assunção via StackOverflow]

Hi i would like to create a shapefile(.shp .shx .prj .dbf) based on a KML file on appengine. My project is on java.

I tried to use geotools, and was able to create .shp .shx .prj on Appengine (with some changes on geotools to save on Google Cloud) but was not able to create a .dbf with it. Geotools depends on AWT for creating the dbf, and Appengine restricts AWT.

Any sugestion on this? I´m starting even to consider calling a python module or something(never did anything like this). Or even creating just a dbf from a kml.

Thanks
