Stanford Parser as a Google App Engine Service

Question

I am new to the Goole App Engine. I'm struggling to find a way to use Stanford Parser as a backend for a mobile application (iOS, Android). Is it possible to run Parser as a service in GAE so that the application can send a line where the parsing will be performed, and after processing the application receives JSON with the results?

If so, any tips or guides you can direct me to?

Thanks.

I cannot answer your exact question, but I am also very interested in this.

Have you tried to run the parser locally on iOS or Android? I suspect this will be somewhat slow, but I wonder: “Slow enough” for small sentences. The official page mentions at least 100 MB of memory, I can not find mention of the minimum requirement for processor power.

Here they explain how they launch their own online parser: https://mailman.stanford.edu/pipermail/parser-user/2011-March/000954.html
