Hello,

I'm currently evaluating isis for a new application. One of the requirements
is that users should be able to import and export data as spreadsheets.

There doesn't seem to be file choosing views shipped with the dnd viewer, so
I've been trying to roll out my own (the usual pair of a text field and
button that opens a file chooser). Unfortunately, I got overwhelmed by all
the concepts involved (views, view requirements, factories, specifications
and builders, facets and their factories, object adapters, the various
contexts...) and their relations, and ultimately have been unabled to get
anything working so far.

Also, the app will be deployed in client/server mode, and I can't figure out
whether domain object methods are run on the server or on the client. As a
consequence, I don't know whether the argument to the import action should
be a reference to the file (a la java.io.File) or its contents (a wrapper on
byte[]).

I'd be grateful if someone could give me a summary of the classes I have to
implement.

Thanks,
Christophe
