GAE + GWT Starter Project. 4) Just in Time Person Synthesiser

It is just in time to see the first version of this application here, It loads slowly, especially if you have a slow internet connection or are using Internet Explorer or both, so if you are in this situation then please be patient to start with. Once loaded, the application is responsive.

However this post is about a different "just in time", the just-in-time person record synthesiser.

I have added a person record synthesiser to the end of the cache pipeline so that whenever a non-existent person is referenced, that person is synthesised. This is straight-forward to implement for the dummy persons I am using.

I chose this method instead of pre-populating the datastore with dummy persons because I have not learnt how to use GAE's batch mode yet.

You can watch this project's progress here.
