How do I implement an OpenID consumer in my Google App Engine project?

Question

I want to use OpenID in my Java Google App Engine web application but I don\'t know where to start...

I have looked at openid4java and joid.

openid4java<

Well, I know this is an old question, but I'm trying now to get openid4java running on App Engine and it is not working. It seems that it uses an "HTTPClient" library that wants to start a new thread and App Engine throws an exception because of that.

So, if you plan to use openid4java on App Engine, look before if there is a solution to this. I just can't find one :(

You can see the problem in more detail here and here.

Hope it helps!
