I am developing a website using GWT deployed in Google App Engine. With the data introduced by the user I would like to generate a .JS file.

Are we allowed to create and store these files in Google App Engine? I cannot find anything in the documentation.

Which function would you use for the .JS file creation, taking into account that data includes special characters (some non-printable characters in ASCII)?

Thanks!

    Unfortunately this is not allowed…

    An App Engine application cannot:

    write to the filesystem.
    Applications must use the App Engine datastore for storing persistent
    data. Reading from the filesystem is allowed, and all application
    files uploaded with the application are available.

    open a socket or
    access another host directly. An application can use the App Engine
    URL fetch service to make HTTP and HTTPS requests to other hosts on
    ports 80 and 443, respectively.

    spawn a sub-process or thread. A web
    request to an application must be handled in a single process within a
    few seconds. Processes that take a very long time to respond are
    terminated to avoid overloading the web server. make other kinds of
    system calls.
