JSP/Servlet | Creating a GAE Application | Preparing an Application in GAE
Now let’s use Eclipse to develop a web application that runs on Google App Engine. First, we will create the foundation of a web application and only go as far as running it on GAE.
Before starting development in Eclipse, register the application on the GAE site. On the GAE site, you register an application in advance, and then deploy the web application developed in Eclipse to that application. Deployment means uploading the program to the server and making it public. In other words, you can think of the application on the GAE site as the place where the actual web application is deployed. You secure a place to publish the web application in advance and then deploy it there.

Access the address above, the GAE site. This page is used to manage applications. When you press the project list icon at the top, the list of applications you have registered is displayed.
Press the plus (+) button there to move to the application registration screen. Enter the following information to register it.
- Project name: Enter a name that lets you identify the project in the console.
- Project ID: The project ID is the globally unique identifier for the project. After you create a project, you cannot change its project ID.
Because GAE lets you create up to 10 apps for free, you can register another new app when you need one.
The registered app name can be anything. However, every application created in GAE must have a different name, so choose a name you think is appropriate.
