Grails 1.2 Latest build works on AppEngine
Regarding the logging issue with Grails and Google AppEngine, I’ve just installed the latest build of Grails1.2 and deployed to AppEngine, and it works.
No change to the loading time of grails however, I’m still getting timeouts on my initial requests.
If You will resolve the timeout issue with grails on AppEngine please post information about causes. Lastly i’ve also checked the AppEngine plugin but even for inital grail project I mostly see timeouts.
I’ve been trying to fix that for a few month now. Checking the Google Group for answers, poking in every thread regarding the issue. Just a few days ago I sent an email to Graeme Rocher, and he believes that they will come with an update regarding this issue in the Google SDK. As far as I can see the issue is for all applications using Spring IoC, also reducing the amount of jars you rely on seems to decrease the loading times.
You can setup a Scheduled Task (Cron Job) to an action which simply renders a string. This appears to keep the application active and removes the wait time for the Spring context to rebuild.
