I have been thinking about this. Would it be a good idea to port
WebAdmin to a more commonly known MVC framework like JSF?
We could embed an HttpServer using apache commons Http which could
service web requests.
The benefits I see here are
1. Standard framework which becomes easier to maintain and add more
features to
2. Standard out of the box GUI components which could be dropped into
the web interface
3. Availability of more powerful and complex GUI components , e.g.
myfaces.apache.org
4. Easier/Faster for other contributors to jump in and provide
enhancements (no steep learning curve)
5. Can be AJAX'ed easily through libraries like ajax4jsf etc.
What do you think?
Is it possible to support JSF without a full servlet container, jsp
enginge, and tag libs support?
We have an small httpserver already and we could do some ajax stuff.
Not too ajax-savvy myself, but it sounds neat.
