Maurizio contacted me off-list in the first instance. I suggested he also advertise his plans here. I'm just copying-n-pasting my off-list replies, for the benefit of all.

Just looking at your DHTMLX Spring link project, it seems that this would run in-process like the Wicket viewer (as opposed to being a standalone Javascript app consuming the RESTful API provided by the RO viewer?) I can see also that your Spring integration requires the use of JSPs and custom controllers. The custom controllers would largely disappear, I would imagine, to be replaced by a GenericObjectController or something similar. With the JSPs you could take a leaf out of the design of the Scimpi viewer (not yet released at 1.0.0, but the docs are around somewhere) whereby it searches for a specific JSP page and then falls back to a generic page otherwise. The NO MVC framework on .NET works this way too (see Richard's video, www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoWN9W8RtMc) Running in memory will require you to reach into the internals of Isis in order to get at the metamodel. In practice this is pretty stable, but it isn't really formal API, so it might break between releases. Just one thing to be aware of. > 2.

Sorry. Given that DN powers GAE (so I understand), I guess it ought to be doable, but I've never tried it myself. I've found Andy Jefferson (at DN) really helpful with my queries (though I always try to make my question precise and to the point). In principal I'd be happy to help too, but given you are the GAE guys I suspect you're a lot further up the learning curve than I am. Thx again, Dan > > Best > Maurizio >
