App Engine Java Guestbook

Java 7 runtime support on App Engine standard was deprecated on December 13, 2017 and will be shut down entirely on January 16, 2019. It is replaced by the Java 8 Runtime Environment.

Samples for the Java 8 runtime can be found here.

Requires Apache Maven 3.1 or greater, and JDK 7+ in order to run.

To build, run

mvn package

Building will run the tests, but to explicitly run tests you can use the test target

mvn test

To start the app, use the App Engine Maven Plugin that is already included in this demo. Just run the command.

mvn appengine:devserver

For further information, consult the Java App Engine documentation.

To see all the available goals for the App Engine plugin, run

mvn help:describe -Dplugin=appengine
