Chrome extension interacting with Google app Engine in Java

I am trying to create a chrome extension which will interact with some of the google products like calender, maps etc using their respective APIs. Presently I am trying to create a Java backend which will be run on google app engine. My chrom开发者_C百科e extension will send request to java classes in Google app engine and excnage data streams. Is it a good idea to go ahead with this approach ? or could you please suggest me some other model.

Thanks, Mayank

Sounds good to me. If those APIs don't provide javascript (or REST) access then there is no other way than to write a proxy in one of the supported languages.

Yes, this is a perfectly reasonable approach. Did you have specific questions about how to accomplish it?
