How to login to gdata in GWT application deployed on GAE?

Question

I want to use the Google account login to retrieve the informations to be used for Google's gdata api so that when I start the application deployed on Google App Engine the user is asked for its login and I can then use this information on the server side to specify the credentials for Google Calendar login (through gdata api). How can I do that? I tried using Client login but it seems that there's no way to get password information from che Client object on the server side...

thank you.

You need to use OAuth to get access to a Google account's calendar. This article should help you: Using OAuth with the Google Data APIs.
