i18n GWT 2.0 application reaching the max files limit

[François Masurel]

Hi,

While trying to deploy our internationalized GWT 2.0 application into
production we encountered the error : "Applications are limited to
3000 files, you have 3956.".

In fact, while developping we were limiting ourselves to one language
and one browser and had no problem. But once when we activated a few
more languages and all browsers, we couldn't deploy our months of work
application anymore. It's very annoying.

Is there anyway to increase the 3000 files limit ?

Thanx a lot for your help.

You can make a zip file and serve the files from it with a request handler.
Maximum zip file size is 10Mb.

Thanx for your answer.

You mean I can serve GWT generated javascript files and other resources from a ZIP file via a request handler ?

Has anybody done this already ?  Any code samples around ?

Thanx again.

Does anybody at Google have a suggestion for me ?

I'm willing to pay to be able to increase my maximum allowed number of
files as I really need it.

Is it possible to automatically replace WEB-INF/classes by one jar in
WEB-INF/lib ? I can do it by hand and it works, but it's not very
practical to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't done this, but I'm certain the problem is solveable. Two
strategies come to mind offhand:

1) Package your class files into a jar in WEB-INF/lib as you describe.

This is pretty straightforward if you use ant to deploy. I don't know
if there are any hooks in the google plugin for Eclipse that will let
you continue to use the deploy button.

2) Package your generated GWT permutations into a jar file and serve
them using a servlet.

You'll need to perform the packaging (again, maybe with ant) of your
gwt output dir into a jar. Then you'll need to create a servlet that
maps the requests into a read from the jar. The easiest way is
probably to put the jar in WEB-INF/lib and use
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource().

The good news is that requests for *.html and *.jpg are treated as
static files, so they get cached on google's CDN. You won't be
reading from the jar all the time.

Are you sure? Is this documented anywhere?

[Jeff Schnitzer]

That's what the documentation seems to say, although I haven't tested it:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/gettingstarted/staticfiles.html

and

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/config/appconfig.html#Static_Files_and_Resource_Files
