/**
 * ApplicationServlet to be used when deploying to Google App Engine, in
 * web.xml:
 * 
 * <pre>
 *      &lt;servlet&gt;
 *              &lt;servlet-name&gt;HelloWorld&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
 *              &lt;servlet-class&gt;com.vaadin.terminal.gwt.server.GAEApplicationServlet&lt;/servlet-class&gt;
 *              &lt;init-param&gt;
 *                      &lt;param-name&gt;application&lt;/param-name&gt;
 *                      &lt;param-value&gt;com.vaadin.demo.HelloWorld&lt;/param-value&gt;
 *              &lt;/init-param&gt;
 *      &lt;/servlet&gt;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * Session support must be enabled in appengine-web.xml:
 * 
 * <pre>
 *      &lt;sessions-enabled&gt;true&lt;/sessions-enabled&gt;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * Appengine datastore cleanup can be invoked by calling one of the applications
 * with an additional path "/CLEAN". This can be set up as a cron-job in
 * cron.xml (see appengine documentation for more information):
 * 
 * <pre>
 * &lt;cronentries&gt;
 *   &lt;cron&gt;
 *     &lt;url&gt;/HelloWorld/CLEAN&lt;/url&gt;
 *     &lt;description&gt;Clean up sessions&lt;/description&gt;
 *     &lt;schedule&gt;every 2 hours&lt;/schedule&gt;
 *   &lt;/cron&gt;
 * &lt;/cronentries&gt;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * It is recommended (but not mandatory) to extract themes and widgetsets and
 * have App Engine server these statically. Extract VAADIN folder (and it's
 * contents) 'next to' the WEB-INF folder, and add the following to
 * appengine-web.xml:
 * 
 * <pre>
 *      &lt;static-files&gt;
 *           &lt;include path=&quot;/VAADIN/**&quot; /&gt;
 *      &lt;/static-files&gt;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * Additional limitations:
 * <ul>
 * <li/>Do not change application state when serving an ApplicationResource.
 * <li/>Avoid changing application state in transaction handlers, unless you're
 * confident you fully understand the synchronization issues in App Engine.
 * <li/>The application remains locked while uploading - no progressbar is
 * possible.
 * </ul>
