Have you had a look through the Getting Started documentation?

I think it depends on what you intend to do :

If you want to serve a static page inside your app : import (or create) the html page in the folder : YourProject/war Then you can call it with a relative link in your application:

<a href = 'MyPage.html'> My link </a>

If you want to start the app with a static page, then you must declare it in : YourPRoject/war/WEB-INF/web.xml file, by adding somthing like this this :

<welcome-file-list>
   <welcome-file>sign.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

I hope it helps !

I added the following to the app.yaml file and it worked for me. This declaration needs to be made right after app_version. Please note that I have placed my html files in the main directory itself.

handlers:
-   url: /(.*\.html)
    static_files: \1
    upload: (.*html)
