Answer 1

I am assuming that you are using Java as the language on the app engine. You will have to make a RESTful application using servlets which defines certain CRUD functionalities. Make servlets for create, update, delete and select/query.

for example:

http://app.appspot.com/create?name=tablename

http://app.appspot.com/query?table=tablename&id=200

The create servlet will have to create a new Model on the datastore. The query servlet will take in an ID and return back the row. Might I also suggest using JSON as the dataformat for receiving data at the client side.
