feature request: Oauth Conversion and/or appengine UserService abstraction

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I am using gwt-gdata in an appspot application on gae/j and UserService is 
providing an Auth login 
facility.

I would like to know if there's plans for generifying the Authentication to 
GData feeds and/or 
migrating to the OpenId abstractions which are getting recommendation in all of 
the google 
accounts documentation currently published

thanks

i meant to say UserService is providing an "OAuth" login

Most client libraries for GData support OAuth:
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/oauth.html

On the other hand, the JavaScript client, which the gwt-gdata library binds to, 
only
supports AuthSub, AFAIK. If you're looking for OAuth support in gwt-gdata, then 
i
would point you to the GData JavaScript client project
(http://code.google.com/p/gdata-javascript-client/) since that's where OAuth 
support
will need to be added (the gwt-gdata library is just a GWT mirror of the 
JavaScript
client).
