Java 7 runtime support on App Engine standard was deprecated on December 13, 2017 and will be shut down entirely on January 16, 2019. It is replaced by the Java 8 Runtime Environment.

Samples for the Java 8 runtime can be found here.

This sample demonstrates how to access App Engine Standard Environment APIs remotely, using the Remote API.

1. Navigate to the remote-server directory
2. Update the <application> tag in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml with your project name.
3. Update the <version> tag in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml with your version name.
4. Deploy the app mvn appengine:update
5. Alternatively, run the app locally with mvn appengine:devserver

1. Package the app as a jar mvn clean package
2. Navigate to the target directory
3. Excute the jar file with the server connection string as the first argument
   1. If you deployed the app, it should be "YOUR-APP-ID.appspot.com"
   2. If you are running on the development server, it should be "localhost" java -jar appengine-remote-client-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar "YOUR-APP-NAME"
