A simple guest book on Google App Engine (Java)

终于算是有些时间，可以试试Google新推出的App Engine的Java语言支持。
Finally got some time to have a trial on Google App Engine – the Java Language.

我下载了Eclipse 3.4.1企业开发版并从更新站点安装了Google插件。在Google插件的帮助下，我在新工程里创建了一个简单的留言簿（GuestBook）模块，并根据文档和范例，写了一个留言（Comment）服务，下面跟用JDO（Java Data Objects）实现的DTO/DAO（Data Transfer/Access Objects）接起来。为了单元测试DAO，还依照GAE官方提供的方法写了JUnit test用的基类来创建App Engine的本地环境。
I’ve downloaded an Eclipse 3.4.1 EE and installed Google Plug-in for Eclipse via the update site. Using the Google Plug-in, I’ve created a GuestBook module, then a Comment service, and a JDO based DTO/DAO for Comment. In addition, I’ve tried out the unit test of a GAE project in local environment.

实际上做完这个例子兴奋劲就过去了，多少有些想法值得提一下，会放在下一篇博文里。
I’ve got some comments on this first trial, will update in another blog post later.

总之，以下是已经部署运行在Google云计算环境里边的例子应用：
Anyway, here is the running application hosted on Google’s cloud environment:

源码也在Google Code上边，欢迎朋友们指正：
And the source code is always available here:

打算在GAE上尝试各种Java技术或框架的朋友们，不妨经常关注以下这个帖子：
For those are trying various Java techniques on GAE, a thread is strongly recommended:

2009年4月8日是一个值得纪念的日子。在央视新闻频道当天的《国际时讯》栏目中，一个ACG Fans熟悉的名字出现了。

English 随笔

It is too dear

Recently I bought something expensive. I did need them but I still had cheaper choices. That was kind of, impulsive consumption.

That’s not the topic.

The word “expensive” makes me recall an experience when I was in a business travel. It was in the San Jose city, I was talking with one of my American colleagues about buying something. When I suddenly said, “It is too dear”, he stared at me for quite a while. Then he said it was quite a long time since he last time heard such sentence. That colleague came from India and he mentioned that traditional British English may be using this word, but American prefers “expensive”.

Btw, I can still remember the spelling of the word “color” can be “colour” in British English according to our English courses. Seems we were taught really a mixed English language.
