Take a look at AppScale.

I have not personally used AppScale, but I've spoke with people who have had good luck with it. I have used TyphoonAE ((http://code.google.com/p/typhoonae/) but it is Python only. – Robert Kluin Oct 06 '10 at 14:28

It highly depends on how you use App Engine currently with Gaelyk. Gaelyk is syntax sugar on top of the GAE SDK, and builds upon of the shoulders of the Groovy giant: the Groovlet servlet and Template servlet are part of Groovy itself, not of Gaelyk. So if you don't rely on the various GAE services, you can run your app on any Java container, wherever hosted it may be.

Thanks. I ended up migrating the app to grails which was easier than I thought. – Tihom Dec 29 '10 at 14:49
