Google App Engine上的Java应用程序？

Question

So it's possible to deploy java web applications to Google App Engine (GAE) but how could I host a standard java app on GAE? I've written an application for my company that have to be running 24/7, the application basically monitors the inbox of a specific email and does the required handling.

Is it possible to port such an app to a web application that can be deployed on GAE? Or is GAE only designed for RESTful apps?

If this is not possible through GAE, should we give Google Compute Engine a look?

Answer 1

It's possible to port this app to GAE, but you'll need to do some additional work - such as setting up a scheduled task using Cron so that the logic of your application would be executed regularly.

With Google Compute Engine, it's likely that you'll be able to simply run the application without many modifications, but you'll likely spend more effort on setting up and maintaining the GCE VM on which your application runs.
