Trying a Demo Application

英文水平比较次，刚开始看java方面的文档，感觉这段比较有用，以自己的理解，翻译了一下。呵呵。错误之处欢迎大家指出

Trying a Demo Application

The App Engine Java SDK includes several demo applications in the demos/ directory. The final version of the guest book application you will create in this tutorial is included under the directory guestbook/. This demo has been precompiled for you so you can try it right away.

大意：The App Engine Java SDK在目录demos下，包含了一些示例程序，下面将指导创建guestbook应用,这个应用已经是被预编译过的，所以你能够很轻松地去尝试下这个应用。

If you are using Eclipse, the SDK is located in your Eclipse installation directory, under plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_VERSION/, where VERSION is a version identifier for the SDK. From the command line, change the current working directory to this directory to run the following command. If you're using Mac OS X or Linux, you may need to give the command files executable permissions before you can run them (such as with the command chmod u+x dev_appserver.sh).

大意：如果你使用的是Eclipse，那么SDK已经在你的Eclipse安装目录里，路径为：plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_VERSION/，这个VERSON是版本号，这个版本号是SDK的版本ID。在命令行模式下，将使用这个目录作为当前工作目录。然后执行以下命令。如果你使用的是Mac OX X 或 Linux，在你运行这些命令前，你可能需要赋予这些命令文件可执行的权限(例如使用命令 chmod u+x dev_appserver.sh)

If you are using Windows, start the guest book demo in the development server by running the following command at a command prompt:

大意：如果你使用的是Windows，通过以下命令开始尝试guest book示例：

appengine-java-sdk/bin/dev_appserver.cmd appengine-java-sdk/demos/guestbook/war

 

(这里自己注意下相对路径的问题,我是直接进入bin目录，然后执行：

dev_appserver.cmd  ../demos/guestbook/war）

 

If you are using Mac OS X or Linux, run the following command:

大意：如果你使用Mac OS X 或 Linux ，使用如下命令：

./appengine-java-sdk/bin/dev_appserver.sh appengine-java-sdk/demos/guestbook/war

The development server starts, and listens for requests on port 8080. Visit the following URL in your browser:

• http://localhost:8080/

大意：服务器启动，并监听8080发来的请求，可以在浏览器中使用如下的url访问：http://localhost:8080/

To stop the server, make sure the command prompt window is active, then press Control-C.

大意：在确保你的命令窗口是活动区域时，使用CTRL+C，可以停止服务。
