Hi, I looked at the Management API and it's WSDL. I think it's better if we first create a prototype using simple AJAX calls (which calls the web services operations) and then go for server side framework. I have no experience with lift web framework and have to try that. So it's better if someone can point out exact advantages it has over traditional Java/JSP. Also I like the capability of deploying lifts as WARs. We have to find out, is that framework stable and do they have enough support to use it (documentation, examples). If devs agree to use lift then we can start developing with lift.
Please feel free to comment on this. Also I am having my end semester exams until 18th march. Therefore I'll not be able to heavily involve in this. I'll try to create a very simple prototype using management web services ASAP. I think I'll be able to create a prototype on 20th march. Also I ran benchmark test available in the web for JavaScript libraries. According to it jQuery will be a good choice. Here are the links.
