Well, with xwt there is no traffic for the gui part of the system. the xwar files are all downloaded at application startup (or on demand by via a scripted api). The only taffic between the server and the client consist of xmlrpc or soap calls. Its a pretty nice seperation of business logic and gui code.
The idea is to allow scripting of web services, using a scripting platform that has all of the power of the java apis. The fact that the low-level langauge is java makes some for some interesting things as well. The secondary goal is to allow easy access to and control of the contained scripts through and open api, governed by an extensable/customizable authentication system. The whole point is to be able to quickly and easily create and/or adapt services to your needs. If nothing else it would be a good way to prototype services, not that the speed difference between java and some of these other java based langauges is that much (both rhino (javascript) and kawa (scheme and common lisp) compile to native java byte codes). I also hope it lowers the entry bar a bit for web services. Scripting a service in javascript using a predefined api can be allot simpler then writing it from scratch in java. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Oliver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 4:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Juglist] Outsourcing overseas Thanks for pointing me to that XWT thing. That's pretty different. I'm a little surprised that XML-based would be more responsive than X, not that X is responsive ;-). Could you describe your project in more detail I'm not sure I really understood. The idea is to allow scripting to Java components via web services? -Andy > From: "Merritt, Eric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Research Triangle Java User's Group mailing > list."<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2004 15:55:23 -0500 > To: "Research Triangle Java User's Group mailing list." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: [Juglist] Outsourcing overseas > > www.xwt.org _______________________________________________ Juglist mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://trijug.org/mailman/listinfo/juglist_trijug.org ** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail and its attachments may contain confidential, proprietary, and/or privileged information which is legally protected from disclosure.
