Hi all,

TL;DR:

Is someone hosting web interfaces in IoT-related projects using
Wicket? If so, under which hardware requirements, especially CPU and
RAM, and using which web server like Tomcat etc.? Did you do so in the
past and might have failed terribly, for what reasons?

The background:

I'm working on some IoT-project creating some device(s) with currently
only very few and vague requirements. Some of those requirements are
providing a web interface and web services, but another one is that
some variant of the device should be used in some battery-powered
context as well. If that should provide a web interface/web services
as well and how complex etc. still needs to be discussed.

Additionally, there's some cloud-based software with its own frontend
interacting with the predecessor of the newly created device. That
whole stack is implemented using Apache Tomcat, Wicket and Axis 2 and
because we are a pretty small company and stuff I would like to reuse
as much of that stack as possible and somewhat reasonable.

What we currently test is some Avenger96-Board with 1 GiB of RAM
running some Yocto-Linux, but it already seems that this doesn't fit
to a battery-powered mode. So some far less powerful hardware with
e.g. only 128 MiB of RAM gets considered as well.

The AV96 with 1 GiB of RAM runs my tested server-software pretty fine,
but fails with 128 MiB. With some easy steps the image could be
changed to make ~60 MiB of RAM free for my usage, but that simply
wasn't enough to start my web-app at all. Tomcat itself ran fine even
with only 15 MiB of RAM free, though, unless used with my app. :-)

What I would like to get a feeling for is if that approach is even
worth following or not. So thanks for everything you share!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning
