JSON/RPC 2.0 with Google App Engine (Python)

This sample application demonstrates how to run a client written with GWT on Google App Engine (Python). The client communicates with the server interfaces through JSON/RPC (http://groups.google.com/group/json-rpc/web/json-rpc-2-0).

Requirements

Most of the required libraries and programs (GAE SDK, GWT) will be installed by zc.buildout. See the buildout.cfg file.

The buildout needs Python and the tools contained in /bin and /usr/bin of a standard installation of the Linux operating environment. You should ensure that these directories are on your PATH and following programs can be found:

  • Python 2.5.2+ (3.x is not supported!)
  • virtualenv
  • Java
  • Ant

Building and Running the Application

We recommend to install this buildout into a virtualenv in order to obtain isolation from any 'system' packages you've got installed in your Python version.

Install virtualenv:

$ virtualenv --distribute jsongae-env
$ cd jsongae-env
$ git clone http://github.com/rodaebel/jsongae.git

Build and run the application:

$ cd jsongae
$ ../bin/python bootstrap.py --distribute
$ ./bin/buildout
$ ./bin/dev_appserver parts/jsongae

Then access the application using a web browser with the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/

Developing the RPC Client

In order to run the JSON RPC client application in development mode, import the project into your Eclipse workspace. Run the client as Web Application and access it using a web browser with the following URL:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/client/index.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997

Running Tests

In order to run all functional tests enter the following command:

$ bin/nosetests -v --with-gae --gae-application=parts/jsongae

Uploading and managing

To upload application files, run:

$ ./bin/appcfg update parts/jsongae
