Deploying backend jobs in google app engine

Question

I am very new to google app engine. I have tried deploying web application into google app and its working fine. Now i have to work on deploying backend jobs (standalone java programs) into google app engine I am not finding a way to proceed with this. Please suggest me a solution for scheduling backend jobs using cron job in GAE.

Backends are deprecated. You need to use App Engine Modules. This article explains how to deploy a module:

https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/modules/

If you are still using backends, however, you describe them in backends.xml file and deploy with the rest of your project.
