Hi all, I did some experiments with jQuery and lift web frame work (Sorry for the late reply). I think jQuery will be a better choice for the client side. But I have some doubts about using lift on the server side. As I understand there are disadvantages as well as disadvantages. As Alex mentioned in the previous mail - Deploying Lift webapps is the same as any Java .war file, so it should be instantly familiar to our existing user base. - forward-thinking web frameworks are a more fertile learning grounds than yesterday's technology (referring specifically to Java/JSPs) are advantages.
But this will increase the number of dependencies. When thinking about dependencies, we have to lift with ODE or ask users to install it and also have to have Scala install in development machines. Also according to my experience we can develop web interface by only using AJAX and Web Services exposed specially for management related tasks (Currently we have Management API, but if we need more functionality we need to improve it). AJAX with Web Services technique is used in WSO2 WSAS AFIAK. Also I think it's better if we can introduce some authentication and authorization mechanism to this management interface. By doing this e can limit functionalities for different user groups. Like admin can start/retire process models but normal users can't. But when using this we have think about how we manage sessions and few security related things. Also I have problems with buildr build system in Linux (Ubuntu 7.10). Currently I am using binary distribution. It's better if some one can add some more documentation or FAQ about these build problems. At one time when buildr is successfully started in my machine, the rake build system crash with segmentation fault :(. Please feel free to comment in this.
