AE-Java - Java / JSP / Google App Engine Base App

AE-Java BaseApp

AE-BaseApp is a multi-platform app-engine base-app created by Mark Finch to assist developers looking to build their first applications leveraging Google's Cloud Infrastructure. AE-Java is adapted from AE-Python base app with significant portion of version 1 code adapted from App Engine Guestbook Demo App.

The AE-Java version of AE-BaseApp uses the Java/JSP Language to provide a simple application base to launch new Google App Engine Applications from.

Features of version 1 include Ad-Sense integration, examples of how to use basic templates, access the datastore to create and read. The main goal of version 1 is to have a very simple application to benchmark various frameworks running on App Engine. The reason to keep it simple is to see how much a performance hit a framework has on App-Engine. AE-Java being the lightest of the Java based baseapps will likely perform the fastest. That is the question we hope is answered with version 1 of AE-BaseApp.
