I wanted to try an application using pd4ml on Google App Engine. Apparently pd4ml uses at least one class that is retricted: java.awt.Dimension

It is not listed here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/j ... elist.html

- Is compatibility with GAE on the road map for p4ml?
- What other classes will be a problem with GAE?

Any tips on how to proceed?

The error I receive:



The code used to generate the error:

It would be nice if a list of dependent classes not on the GAE whitelist would be posted to http://code.google.com/p/googleappengin ... il?id=1313 or http://code.google.com/p/googleappengin ... il?id=1423

PD4ML utilizes many AWT classes, so there is no easy way to implement GAE compatibility.

PD4ML architecture consists of two layers: HTML renderer and PDF output pseudo-device. The "pseudo-device" implements java.awt.Graphics which makes possible to "print" rendered document layout to a buffered image, for example. Or to capture any graphics output and to generate a PDF from it. A compatibility with GAE would require to sacrifice a lot of useful functions. Also I expect some troubles with TTF fonts.
