GAE (Google App Engine) allows you to use an ORM library to map your noSQL data. In my test I’ve used JPA v.1.
To expose data I’ve implemented a REST API using Jersey. In this short article I don’t want to explain how to implement the complete application but how to solve the following Error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: app s~<yourappname> cannot access app <yourappname>'s data at com.google.appengine.api.datastore.DatastoreApiHelper.translateError(DatastoreApiHelper.java:36) at com.google.appengine.api.datastore.DatastoreApiHelper$1.convertException(DatastoreApiHelper.java:76) at com.google.appengine.api.utils.FutureWrapper.get(FutureWrapper.java:106) at com.google.appengine.api.datastore.FutureHelper$CumulativeAggregateFuture.get(FutureHelper.java:145) at com.google.appengine.api.utils.FutureWrapper.get(FutureWrapper.java:90) at com.google.appengine.api.datastore.FutureHelper.getInternal(FutureHelper.java:72) at com.google.appengine.api.datastore.FutureHelper.quietGet(FutureHelper.java:33) at com.google.appengine.api.datastore.DatastoreServiceImpl$2.runInternal(DatastoreServiceImpl.java:113) at com.google.appengine.api.datastore.DatastoreServiceImpl$2.runInternal(DatastoreServiceImpl.java:110) at com.google.appengine.api.datastore.TransactionRunner.runInTransaction(TransactionRunner.java:31) at com.google.appengine.api.datastore.DatastoreServiceImpl.put(DatastoreServiceImpl.java:110) <continued in next message>
This Error occurs only when you use the application on GAE and not when you debug locally.
In my experience the error is related to the Entity Key.
If you try to create a new Entity forcing the Key you have this error. Why you may incur in this? Because you are copy another Entity! So remember to clear the Entity Key in the copy constructor.
Another way to face this problem is using REST: if you are creating a new Entity and in the JSON posted you force the Key GAE log this error.
This is the example. The Entity
public interface BasicEntity<T> {
public void createVersion();
public void updateVersion(T old);
public boolean isRemoved();
public String getUUID();
}
@Entity
public class Utente implements Serializable, BasicEntity<Utente> {

Jersey REST mapping
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("/utenti")
public class UtenteResource {
@GET
@Path("/")
public List<Utente> getUtentu() {
UtenteDAO dao = new UtenteDAO();
return dao.getUtenti();
}
@GET
@Path("/{id}")
public Utente getPraticaById(@PathParam("id") String id) {
UtenteDAO dao = new UtenteDAO();
return dao.getUtente(id);
}
@POST
@Path("/{id}")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public void updateUtente(@Context HttpServletRequest Req, Utente utente, @PathParam("id") String id) {
UtenteDAO dao = new UtenteDAO();
dao.updateUtente(utente, id);
}
@POST
@Path("/new")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public void insertUtente(@Context HttpServletRequest Req, Utente utente) {
UtenteDAO dao = new UtenteDAO();
dao.insertUtente(utente);
}
}
The JSON posted that give you the error
curl -H “Content-Type: application/json” -X POST –data @jsontest/new_user.json http://localhost:8888/rest/utenti/new

remove uuid and you can create a new user
