Running Jetty web server in LAN

GAE comes with an inbuilt jetty webserver for testing purpose.Can it be configured to accessed within our LAN?

I can access it using http://localhost:8888 or http://127.0.0.1:8888 but can't access using http://192.168.1.201:8888 (This my local LAN ip)

why?

You need to configure GAE to listen on all interfaces, not only localhost's loopback interface (127.0.0.1).

Can you give me some idea how to do that?

Yes it is possible:

To make your GAE accessible on your LAN, you have to configure the launcher to use the address 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost.

Open the GoogleAppEngineLauncher >> Application Settings for your app

Add “-a 0.0.0.0″ to the Extra Flags section and restart. Now your GAE will run in your LAN and can be accessed by other devices.

It seems this is for python SDK. I am using java SDK on eclipse. Can you tell me how to do that on it?

Same procedure - only for the GAE-plugin of eclipse: Eclipse >>> Package Explorer >>> Right click on project >>> Run As >>> Run Configurations >>> Arguments >>> add "-a 0.0.0.0" to the program arguments >>> Apply >>> close ---- And the solution above also works for JAVA, if you use the AppEngineLauncher (you have to, if you work with Netbeans - only for eclipse there is a plugin as far as I know)

When i open the setting dialog it show --port=8888 -a C:\Workspace\project1\war. Tried to add -a 0.0.0.0 after this. It give error and show parameter help at consol. Again tried to add it to new line. Same error

you have to add it to the "Arguments", not into the --port / you can also set your IP instead of 0.0.0.0 to make the server bind to only one IP.
