Will there still be a RESTful api? I thought that creating the api would enable "any" language with URI support to be used to manage/control a Stratos instance

I think Django would be a good option. It's a Python based framework which provides many built-in features: - An ORM for easy data access - An Administrative UI for user management - Follows MVC pattern (with slightly different terminology: Model -> Model, View -> Template, Controller-> View) - Rapid Form development including validations - Clean URL management - Provides a standalone web server for development - Could be deployed in Apache web server with mod_python Thanks On Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 6:19 PM, Sanjiva Weerawarana <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: +1 for writing a clean webapp. On Fri, Oct 25, 2013 at 4:47 PM, Pradeep Fernando <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, From time to time, the need of a separate front-end for Statos came up in various other threads. Here I'm starting this thread to bootstrap the effort. Why not existing UI: - The current admin console is derived from the Carbon UI framework - It has the 'Carbon' look. - Little bit hard to customize - It depends on WS backend calls The proposed frontend: - A webapp sitting inside Carbon framework (make use of embedded tomcat) - We can decide on the final look and feel - easy to host/customize (can host in separate tomcat instance if the user wants) - uses REST calls for backend communication. wdyt ? If you find this feature useful, other question would be, - what web technologies to use (jsp,gwt,etc) - the end design (wire-frames) thanks, --Pradeep -- Sanjiva Weerawarana, Ph.D. Founder, Chairman & CEO; WSO2, Inc.; http://wso2.com/ email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>; phone: +94 11 763 9614<tel:%2B94%2011%20763%209614>; cell: +94 77 787 6880<tel:%2B94%2077%20787%206880> | +1 650 265 8311<tel:%2B1%20650%20265%208311> blog: http://sanjiva.weerawarana.org/ Lean .
