Can we use AsyncHttpClient in Google App Engine application

I want to use this async http client in my google app engine application

But when I run locally I'm getting following errors. Is Appenigne blocking this library. If so any alternative for async http connections from App engine application

Uncaught exception from servlet
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClient

No, you can't. Your options are to use: urlfetch, which is async too Urlconnection which is not, and is pretty low level Apache http client, which is socket based so doesn't use URL fetch

Last time I tried to integrate Ning async client on appengine, the issue was it need to create both inbound and outbound sockets. That may have changed.

Use URL Fetch, it supports asynchronous calls. AFAIK, only URL Fetch is supported for connections to other services. There are some constraints though, as the request can't live longer than the app engine request that started it; and be aware that the default timeout is 5s, which might not be enough for async calls.
