You may also be interested in Gaelyk (http://gaelyk.appspot.com/) Gaelyk is a lightweight wrapper which enables you to deploy applications written in Groovy to the App Engine.

Gaelyk offers a lot of the advantages of Grails including:

• standards for Views, Controllers
• flexible URL routing
• plugin system
• It has simple wrappers for the App Engine (including datastore access and coercion to POJO/POGOs, email, memcache, Jabber & more)

(although it doesn't include internationalisation, CRUD scaffolding or a HQL type query wrapper)

As it is more lightweight it doesn't have the performance issues on App Engine that Grails does and now that you can reserve instances http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/adminconsole/instances.html#Always_On it is possible to remove the startup time problems!
