## In which file did you encounter the issue? https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/java/test-deploy#running_and_testing_api_backends_locally ### Did you change the file? If so, how? I first tried what was in the doc. But that didn't work and after some googling and finding this issue thread https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples/issues/533, I tried the following: export ENDPOINTS_SERVICE_NAME=endpointname-api.endpoints.projectid.goog gcloud config set project projectid gcloud auth application-default login mvn clean package mvn exec:java -DGetSwaggerDoc gcloud service-management deploy openapi.json mvn appengine:devserver ## Describe the issue I get the exception below when running mvn appengine:devserver and a 503 when attempting to access http://localhost:8080/_ah/api/explorer or http://localhost:8080/_ah/admin. An important note is that this service is not the default service in the appengine project. Its appengine-web.xml service tag is campaign-service. I'm wondering if the instructions for running api backends locally is different for an appengine service other than default.
