With the Application Deployment tool, you can run Java applications on Google App Engine.
Warning: You have to compile using Java 8.
First of all, you need to have set the Google environment using the Google management console.
In addition, before reading this document, we strongly recommend that you take a look at Deployment of an app to Google App Engine: setting up the environment.
1. Select the Main objects to be included in the Deployment Unit object. Then go through the contextual option "Deploy Application" of the deployment unit just created.
2. In Target, select the option "Google App Engine."
3. In the Deployment screen, complete the following:
- Project Id
Enter the Project ID as obtained using the Google management console
- Application version
The app version that will be created or replaced by this deployment. If you don't specify a version, one will be generated for you.
App Engine uses this version identifier to determine whether to create a new version of the app with the given identifier (or replace the version of the app with the given identifier if one already exists.) You can test new versions of your app with a URL using "-dot-" as a subdomain separator in the URL; for example, https://VERSION_ID-dot-default-dot-PROJECT_ID.REGION_ID.r.appspot.com. Using the Google Cloud Console, you can select the default version of your app. The default version is loaded when no version, or an invalid version, is specified.
After selecting the main objects and configuring the necessary properties for the automatic deployment, press the Deploy button.
It will build the WAR package, as well as upload and deploy it on Google App Engine.
You'll see an output similar to the following:
Services to deploy:

You can stream logs from the command line by running:
$ gcloud app logs tail -s default
To view your application in the web browser run:
$ gcloud app browse
Deploying to Google App Engine finished successfully.
Note: The Application Server used is Generic Servlet 3.1.
After you deploy, your application runs at the URL https://<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>.appspot.com.
Execute the Google console and go through the App Engine panel (Versions option on the left). On the right, you have the list of all the versions deployed and their URL.
For example: [https://20211113t091926-dot-deploy-test-331515.uc.r.appspot.com/com.testdeploygoogle.webpanel1]
Where 20211113t091926 is the version, deploy-test-331515 is the project ID, and com.testdeploygoogle is the Java package name property set in the KB.
