GAEApplicationServlet service crashes at appengine NamespaceManager

Hello,
I've created Google app engine / Vaadin HelloWorld application step-by-step using HOW-TOs. Application was crashing and it takes me all day to find out why. Here is my report. I was not able to find solution on web, so I hope this will help someone.

Tomcat Application log:

It failed on tomcat but deploy to Google App Engine was okay... I tried everything (debugging, decompiling, another versions of tomcat, vaadin, appengine, libraries...)

Solution:
Edit war/WEB-INF/web.xml <servlet-class> to ApplicationServlet instead of GAEApplicationServlet.

Yes, I found it is in that how-to mentioned, I've missed it. My bad. :grin:

Cheers,
Milan
