endpoints & the standard app engine framework

[Lacramioara Astefanoaei]

Hi,

All the steps for deploying an API (as described at https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/deploy-redeploy-api) are wrt the flexible framework. How about the standard one?

Also, where exactly is java 8 used in the enpoints examples (for instance, https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples/tree/master/appengine/endpoints-frameworks-v2/backend)? Why can't java 7 work instead so we can have such apps running within the standard framework? And can we use the yaml file instead of the json one? (I've seen that the yaml file appears in the python version of the tutorial, but i hope we could use yaml files as well for java development).

Thanks for all the code and all the nice documentation you're making available,
Lacramioara

The specific instructions for deployment on the App Engine Standard Environment are given in the section 'Quickstarts for Endpoints on App Engine Standard Environment'. Note that the command 'gcloud beta service-management deploy swagger.json' is still needed even on the Standard Environment to deploy the OpenAPI configuration file to Google Service Management.

Java 8 isn't required to use Cloud Endpoints Frameworks. Perhaps I don't understand your question. Also could you elaborate on what you mean by "use the YAML file instead of the JSON one" ? The swagger.json file is generated and is independent of your application's other config files.
