Today, on IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/#abcl), Alex and I have been working on getting ABCL to run on GAE (Google App Engine).
We didn't complete our work, but since this mailing list has a wider audience than the IRC channel, I thought I'd forward our progress (his typing) to the mailing list. Possibly there are additional people interested. If others want to join in this effort to get ABCL running on GAE, I could commit the code to the examples directory in the repository. From there, we could make this a joint effort.
One of the things we were running into is that we knew how to get a stream to the first-servlet.abcl file, but not how to get a path/URL to it. Can anybody contribute by answering how we should? When we know, we can do with the existing public functions, if there's not way, we need to make additional functions public.
Bye,
Erik.

Still hackish, though :(. We'll talk more about this tomorrow.

Well, I kept on experimenting yesterday. I downloaded the GAE SDK and have been trying to run the code in the local GAE development server. This morning I saw my first "Hello World" in my browser!
Conclusion: it works! But it's not ready to be uploaded. I shortcut the problem of finding the fasls to be loaded: I hard coded the local HD path for now. Which immediately indicates the next step to be taken.

If you replace the 2 files by the same names in the zip I sent yesterday by the 2 class files that I'm sending today, it should work for you too.

I found that the files in WEB-INF will *only* be available as resources, which means we'll need to make it possible to load file contents off streams. That's no problem: there are routines already to do that, but so far they have been private to the Load class. I'll change the accessibility later today. After that, it should be possible to run the code both in the local server as well as on the App Engine infrastructure.
Good progress!
Bye,
Erik.
Erik, you can take a look at the AbclScriptEngine class inside the scripting package. IIRC it does load stuff from streams - you may be able to adapt something from it.
