Hello, I'm new to Open Social and I would like to now how difficult it is to integrate an existing WebApp into an Open Social capable Network (for example Orkut). The Application is written in Java with Java Server Faces and JSF Component libraries Trinidad and MyFaces. I want to extend it with Social Network-Functionality (inviting Friends to use the application, show Friend's Profiles with Fotos, push News Feeds, etc.) without changing my whole WebApp.
In Facebook for example it's possible to use an IFrame to embedd existing Webapps without restrictions in using Javascript. The Social Network-Functionality is done by an Facebook API for Server-to-server- Communication (no use of FBML). Is this also possible with Open Social? I have seen that Open Social provides a RESTful Data API. Can I use it instead of using the Java Script API? I know that this solution could lead to less performace but I don't like to use the Java Script API because I fear that I have to change the whole Presentation Layer and I dont want to have several Versions of my application - one for Facebook, one for Open Social Platforms and one for standalone web application. Maybe I cannot avoid having several Versions but using the Data API is less invasive I think. It would be nice, if anyone could give me some tips.
