Hi,
Does anybody have any thoughts on pros and cons of building swing applications
with merlin? I have a rather large swing app running in Fortress right now, and
that's all running as expected.
Now, I'm splitting the app into a server component and a
client component iso a pure client side app. It's be nice to be able to use the same
technology for the client and the server side, so I can easily move components from
one side to the other as required. It'd also be great to be able to auto-download
updates from a central server and things like that. Seems like Merlin is especially
apt at all that. However, Merlin seems to be more targeted at server applications,
so I'm wondering what would be required to let Merlin run a swing app (some hooks
during startup, being able to trap runtime exceptions and at the very least display
them to the users, event bus,...)
Anybody any observations?
I would take something like kernel/unit package as an example and retro fit to handle the swing context (using a variant of DefaultEmbeddedKernel as Alex suggested). This will let you handle errors, exceptions, etc. I figure some of this will be changing but the changes will be based on experience gained in different embedded scenarios - and a swing scenario is more input.
Cheers, Steve.
Thanks a lot, - Filip
