glass java starter project on appengine localhost

Question

I created appEngine project from the Maven glass java starter project, and I am trying to run it as appengine:devserver But, when I try to access the localhost on the browser, it says:- "This webpage has a redirect loop".

Also, how do I delete the cache on the chrome browser, because even when the localserver is not running, I still get the above mentioned error, unless I delete the cache from the browser and restart my Windows m/c.

I was able to deploy the starter project on appengine. – Dev Srivastava Sep 16 '13 at 21:32 — Dev Srivastava, Sep 16 '13 at 21:32

I resolved this issue. Basically, it was a url-rewriting issue and the Jetty server was inserting the sessionId (jsessionId) into the URL. I disabled this by having this in the web.xml:

<context-param>
    <param-name>org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.SessionURL</param-name>
    <param-value>none</param-value>
</context-param>

and this in the appengine-web.xml:

<sessions-enabled>true</sessions-enabled>

Instead of "localhost", try creating a host entry in your %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file (eg. devserver.example.com 127.0.01)

When testing, you can disable Chrome cache by going into devtools and clicking the settings gear.

Changing the etc\hosts file as you suggested did not help. Still getting the same error - "This webpage has a redirect loop". – Dev Srivastava Sep 03 '13 at 20:55
You'll need to trace the network requests in Chrome devtools to see what the loop is, then trace the code to see where the loop is originating – pinoyyid Sep 04 '13 at 04:17
for some reasons App Engine does not like this code in the AuthFilter.java httpResponse.sendRedirect(WebUtil.buildUrl(httpRequest, "/oauth2callback")); This code would redirect to Authorization via Google services. – Dev Srivastava Sep 04 '13 at 20:27
