Will I be able to employ Google Cloud Endpoints on a Tomcat Server (that runs as container inside Google Container Engine) by adding suitable libraries to a dynamic web project, or is this technology strictly tied to Google App Engine and can only be deployed there?
I don't require anything special in terms of authentication against Google accounts, and would just like to use the technology's annotations to implement my REST/JSON protocol in a simple (and elegant) way.
I guess the answer is no (i.e. technology is strictly tied to Google App Engine), but want to be sure before looking for alternatives.
No. Cloud Endpoints currently relies on the App Engine stack for its internals.
