Google App Engine and Android?

Question

I want to create to applications one written for Google App Engine (strictly Java) and the other an Android app. I want the android app to connect to the GAE server. Via what API will I get support for JAX-WS?

Answer 1

Google App Engine from what I've seen promotes the usage of RESTful architectural style and thus is a JAX-RS reference implementation which is pretty straightforward (annotations on WebService methods, parameters etc.)

Plus, some of the packages you need in order to marshal-unmarshal request and responses are not included

If you so insist on using JAX-WS I would suggest you take a look at this blog entry.

I would strongly advice you not to delve into a web service implementation with this approach, google app engine has already the endpoints API in order to deal with developers wanting just a backend to their apps.
