Google App Engine and Geo Targeting by IP using MaxMind DB

Hi,
I tried using my Java based GAE project to geo target my user using MaxMind but I found out that it is not possible because the current implementation of MaxMind Java API uses restricted classes by Google.

The only way I was able to do it is by using Python based GAE project and using this great piece of code for doing it: http://code.google.com/p/python-geoip/

Hope it helps anyone.
