+# Google App Engine Standard Environment Remote API Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to access App Engine Standard Environment APIs remotely,
+using the [Remote API](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/remoteapi).
+
+## Set up the server component of Remote API 
+1. Navigate to the remote-server directory
+1. Update the `<application>` tag in `src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml`
+   with your project name.
+1. Update the `<version>` tag in `src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml`
+   with your version name.
+1. Deploy the app
+   `mvn appengine:update`
+1. Alternatively, run the app locally with
+   `mvn appengine:devserver`
+## Set up the client component of Remote API
+1. Package the app as a jar
+   `mvn clean package`
+1. Navigate to the target directory
+1. Excute the jar file with the server connection string as the first argument
+   1. If you deployed the app, it should be "YOUR-APP-ID.appspot.com"
+   1. If you are running on the development server, it should be "localhost"
+   java -jar appengine-remote-client-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar "YOUR-APP-NAME"
