I am trying to run the Get started with Datastore example athttps://developers.google.com/datastore/docs/getstarted/start_java/ trying it both from the command line and from Eclipse
In both environments, it can not connect to datastore and gives an I/O error message 'toDerInputStream rejects tag type 123'
Looking around, this may be because the private key file is in json format and perhaps it should the p12 - other than that the error message draws a blank.
Could anyone point to something that would help me past this?
You need to use PKCS#12 format, as you said, p12. There's a few other people with similar errors (although they're trying to accomplish different things). I hope this helps, let us know if it resolves the issue.
Push Notification in Java expect p12 file
