Saving session data from javascript

[Phil McDonnell]

I know app engine saves the session data into the datastore.  Is there a way to get access to this from my javascript?  For instance, my users log into facebook via a js api so I'd like to be able to quickly save the fb id handles to the session from my js code.

Thanks,

Phil

You would have to make an AJAX call passing the data to your app.  From there, your server side code (Java/Python/Go) can save the info into the datastore or put it into session.

I definitely get that I need to connect the js to the java server side code via some sort of AJAX. Are there some standard or easy ways to implement this?  I remember from a past project that there were some clunky, but generally good ways to do this in GWT.  Does regular java appengine have anything similar or is there a popular way to do this?

Thanks so much,

Phil
