Question

Is there a way to load a custom HttpServlet to GAE? I uploaded a project that included an HttpServlet in the .server package and added it to the web.xml…

<servlet>
   <servlet-name>testServlet</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>gwtone.server.TestServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>testServlet</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/tester/greet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Is there something else I am missing, or is it not possible?

——–EDIT——–

some things that appear when i init my server, which im not used to seeing…

and here is what shows when it crashes..

GAE uses Java 1.6, but you’ve compiled the code with Java 1.7. You need to recompile with Java 1.6. As per the comments, you’re using Eclipse; you can set the Java compiler level in Java > Compiler section of project’s properties.
