GWT and Appengine

So, Google seems to be missing a trick at IO. Surely with all the GWT stuff and Appengine stuff we've seen, you would imagine that there would be some sense of integration? How about using GWT with Appengine with a python backend? Seems sensible, right? So I'm not the only person who thought this: enter python-gwt-rpc.

The server side infrastructure for implementing gwt services in python without json. GWT for Google App Engine.

This is simple small library, for use both GWT (Google Web Toolkit) and GAE (Google App Engine) technologies together. This is a tool for simple and quick integration between google-app-engine and google web toolkit, without using json as a communication protocol. if you use this library you can write GWT services implementation in Python, with full support of transfer primitive types, custom object types and exceptions objects, with full type translation. This is first code written by me in python :), I'm java developer so maybe I do some wrong. Please report me any problems and suggestions.

So I asked at the GWT API talk about this, and nothing is timetabled yet, although he said it was a logical step.

The good news is that GWT has some integration with other AJAX Apis, gwt-google-apis.

The Official Google API Library for Google Web Toolkit

This package is a collection of libraries that provide access to Google APIs and products to developers building applications with the Google Web Toolkit (GWT).

Initially, we are providing support for Google Gears, the recently-launched developer product that extends the browser to allow developers to make web-based applications function even while offline.

We are planning to add support for other Google APIs, but there are many APIs to support, so this will not happen overnight. If you'd like to get involved building support for your favorite Google API, please read the Making GWT Better guide, and then drop a note on the GWT Contributor Forum..

We saw some gadget, gears and maps examples. Looks cool!
