Java 8 ha raggiunto la fine del supporto
e verrà ritirato
il 31 gennaio 2026. Dopo il ritiro, non potrai eseguire il deployment di applicazioni Java 8, anche se la tua organizzazione ha utilizzato in precedenza un criterio dell'organizzazione per riattivare i deployment di runtime legacy. Le tue applicazioni Java 8 esistenti continueranno a essere eseguite e a ricevere traffico dopo la
data di ritiro. Ti consigliamo di eseguire la migrazione all'ultima versione supportata di Java.

Google Cloud Platform fornisce un server di metadati che conosce i dettagli della tua
istanza App Engine, come l'ID progetto contenitore, i service account e
i token utilizzati dai service account. Puoi accedere a questi dati utilizzando semplici richieste HTTP: non sono necessarie librerie client.
Questa pagina mostra come accedere ai metadati dell'istanza dall'applicazione runtime Java 8 di cui è stato eseguito il deployment effettuando chiamate HTTP agli endpoint del server di metadati appropriati.
Un modo utile per utilizzare questa API è ottenere il token del account di servizio e
fornirlo come token di autenticazione nell'intestazione Authorization di una delle API Google
Cloud, per autenticare l'applicazione al servizio API specifico.
Consulta la documentazione dell'API Google Cloud Translation per un esempio di come vengono utilizzati questi token di autenticazione.
Identificare l'endpoint dei metadati da utilizzare
La tabella seguente elenca gli endpoint in cui puoi effettuare richieste HTTP per
metadati specifici. Il server di metadati è accessibile all'indirizzo
http://metadata.google.internal.
Restituisce il token di autenticazione che può essere utilizzato per autenticare l'applicazione con altre API Google Cloud.
Ad esempio, per recuperare l'ID progetto, invia una richiesta a
http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/project/project-id.
Esecuzione di richieste di metadati
Il seguente codice campione recupera tutti i metadati disponibili per l'istanza
e li visualizza, ad eccezione del token delaccount di serviziot.

Nel codice campione, nota il controllo per assicurarti che l'app sia in esecuzione in
produzione. Se l'app viene eseguita localmente, non verranno restituiti metadati dalle
richieste.
Inoltre, nota l'utilizzo del serializzatore / deserializzatore Google Gson JSON, del client HTTP e HTTP2 OkHttp e del sistema di modelli Thymeleaf. Non sono obbligatorie, ma sono librerie utili per i tuoi progetti.
Esecuzione in locale
Il server dei metadati è disponibile per le applicazioni di cui è stato eseguito il deployment: l'esecuzione locale
sul server di sviluppo non è supportata. Puoi aggiungere un controllo dell'ambiente al tuo codice per prevedere risultati dei metadati solo se l'app è in esecuzione in produzione, come mostrato nel codice campione fornito sopra:
Stringenvironment=(String)System.getProperties().get("com.google.appengine.runtime.environment");ctx.setVariable("production",environment);// The metadata server is only on a production systemif(environment.equals("Production")){...//show metadata results}

You can access this data using simple HTTP\nrequests: no client libraries are required.\n\nThis page shows how to access instance metadata from your deployed Java 8\nruntime application\nby making HTTP calls to the appropriate metadata server endpoints.\n| **Note:** Metadata access is currently read only: you cannot write your own metadata for an instance.\n\nOne useful way to use this API is to get the service account token and\nsupply it as a bearer token in the Authorization header of one of the Google\nCloud APIs, to authenticate your application to that particular API service.\nSee the [Google Cloud Translation API](/translate/docs/quickstart)\ndocumentation for an example of how these bearer tokens are used.\n\nIdentifying which metadata endpoint to use\n------------------------------------------\n\nThe following table lists the endpoints where you can make HTTP requests for\nspecific metadata. The metadata server is accessible at\n`http://metadata.google.internal`.\n\nFor example, to retrieve your project ID, send a request to\n`http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/project/project-id`.\n\nMaking metadata requests\n------------------------\n\n| **Important:** Access to the metadata server must use native sockets, such as those provided by `java.net.HttpURLConnection` or the native `url-stream-handler`. The metadata server does not support the [urlfetch](/appengine/docs/legacy/standard/java/issue-requests#using_urlfetch_in_a_java_8_app) service.\n\nThe following sample code gets all of the metadata available for the instance\nand displays it, except for the service account token. \n\n @SuppressWarnings(\"serial\")\n // With @WebServlet annotation the webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml is no longer required.\n @WebServlet(name = \"Metadata\", description = \"Metadata: Write info about GAE Standard\",\n urlPatterns = \"/metadata\")\n public class MetadataServlet extends HttpServlet {\n\n private final String[] metaPath = {\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/project/numeric-project-id\", // (pending)\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/project/project-id\",\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/zone\",\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/aliases\",\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/email\",\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/\",\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/scopes\",\n // Tokens work - but are a security risk to display\n // \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/token\"\n };\n\n final String[] metaServiceAcct = {\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/{account}/aliases\",\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/{account}/email\",\n \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/{account}/scopes\",\n // Tokens work - but are a security risk to display\n // \"/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/{account}/token\"\n };\n\n private final String metadata = \"http://metadata.google.internal\";\n private TemplateEngine templateEngine;\n\n // Use OkHttp from Square as it's quite easy to use for simple fetches.\n private final OkHttpClient ok = new OkHttpClient.Builder()\n .readTimeout(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) // Don't dawdle\n .writeTimeout(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)\n .build();\n\n // Setup to pretty print returned json\n private final Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()\n .setPrettyPrinting()\n .create();\n private final JsonParser jp = new JsonParser();\n\n // Fetch Metadata\n String fetchMetadata(String key) throws IOException {\n Request request = new Request.Builder()\n .url(metadata + key)\n .addHeader(\"Metadata-Flavor\", \"Google\")\n .get()\n .build();\n\n Response response = ok.newCall(request).execute();\n return response.body().string();\n }\n\n String fetchJsonMetadata(String prefix) throws IOException {\n Request request = new Request.Builder()\n .url(metadata + prefix)\n .addHeader(\"Metadata-Flavor\", \"Google\")\n .get()\n .build();\n\n Response response = ok.newCall(request).execute();\n\n // Convert json to prety json\n return gson.toJson(jp.parse(response.body().string()));\n }\n\n @Override\n public void init() {\n // Setup ThymeLeaf\n ServletContextTemplateResolver templateResolver =\n new ServletContextTemplateResolver(this.getServletContext());\n\n templateResolver.setPrefix(\"/WEB-INF/templates/\");\n templateResolver.setSuffix(\".html\");\n templateResolver.setCacheTTLMs(Long.valueOf(1200000L)); // TTL=20m\n\n // Cache is set to true by default.

If the app is running locally, no metadata will be returned from\nthe requests.\n\nAlso, notice the use of the [Google Gson JSON](https://github.com/google/gson)\nserializer / deserializer, the [OkHttp](http://square.github.io/okhttp/) HTTP\nand HTTP2 client, and the [Thymeleaf](http://www.thymeleaf.org/) templating\nsystem. These are not required, but they are useful libraries for your own\nprojects.\n\nRunning locally\n---------------\n\nThe metadata server is available for deployed applications: running locally\non the development server is not supported. You can add an environment check to\nyour code to expect metadata results only if the app is running in production,\nas shown in the sample code provided above: \n\n String environment =\n (String) System.getProperties().get(\"com.google.appengine.runtime.environment\");\n ctx.setVariable(\"production\", environment);\n\n // The metadata server is only on a production system\n if (environment.equals(\"Production\")) {\n ... //show metadata results\n }"]]
