I'm the designer, but I'm just trying to get a good feel for some best
practices with POE before I make my final decision on the direction.
I haven't completed my design because I'm not sure what the best route is
yet. Hence all my poe mail-list questions of late :)
My app will have the following:
1)Apache will serve an Extjs(extjs.com) front end
2)The front end will send ajax requests
a)Either to an IKC client lite cgi ( mod_perl or fastcgi) which would
process the params and then call the appropriate IKC event
.....or.......
b)Directly to a POE based web server. The server would process the
params and then call the appropriate IKC event.
*The client lite cgi or the server would respond with JSON for the
ext front end.
3)The IKC server will talk to different IKC Client workers to perform
automated testing tasks. Eg start a network test, stop a test, etc.......
I think part of the problem is my lack of knowledge on POE, but I am also
just trying to get a community feel for what people have usually done and
what works well........in these kinds of scenarios.
