18. The Project Directory
• A single directory named
Project_Name/ for all project
files.
• Subdirectory named src/
contains the Java source
code
• Subdirectory named war/
contains the complete
application arranged in the
WAR format.
• Build process compiles the
Java source files and puts
the compiled classes in the
appropriate location in war/
19. The servlet class:
• App Engine Java applications use the Java Servlet API to interact
with the web server.
• An HTTPservlet is an application class that can process and
respond to web requests.
• Servlet class extends either the javax.servlet.GenericServlet class
or the javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet class.
21. The web.xml File:
• When the web server receives a request, web.xml file is used to
determines which servlet class to call
• web.xml resides in the war/WEB-INF/ directory
• web.xml file declares a servlet named Yusra, and maps it to the
URL path /yusra
• whenever the user fetches a URL path that is not already mapped to
a servlet, the server should check for a file named index.html in
that directory and serve it if found.
23. The appengine-web.xml File
• This file is named appengine-web.xml, and resides in WEB-INF/
alongside web.xml

empty ID for you to fill in later),
– The version number of your application,
– Lists of files:
• Static files (such as images and CSS) and resource files (such as JSPs and
other application data)

• Steps:
– Make sure the project (“Yusra") is selected,
– Right click and select Run As menu
– Select Web Application
• This should start Jetty on http://localhost:8888/
28. Deploying Application:
• Now deploy your application to the Google cloud
• You must have a google mail account
• Give application ID to you application
– Application ID will be stored in file (“appengine-web.xml”
• First you will have to register application on google cloud
– Using the same application ID
• Then perform deploying operation
29. Registering the Application
1. App Engine Administration Console, at the following
URL:
https://appengine.google.com/
2. Sign in to App Engine using your Google account
3. To create a new application:
a) Click the "Create an Application" button
b) Follow the instructions to register an application ID, a name unique
to this application
c)If you select to use the free appspot.com domain name, the full URL for
the application will be http://application-id.appspot.com/
32. Uploading From Eclipse
• To upload your application from Eclipse, click the App Engine
deploy button on the toolbar
• Click the Deploy button
• Enter your Google account username (your email address) and
password when prompted
• Eclipse gets the application ID and version information from the
appengine-web.xml file, and uploads the contents of the war/
directory.
36. Accessing Your Application
• You can now see your application running on App Engine
• If you set up a free appspot.com domain name, the URL for your
website begins with your application ID:
http://application-id.appspot.com/
