Have you looked at Pivot's Web Query classes? They allow you to build REST
services fairly easily and are very small. If you use JSON as your data format,
you can use JSONSerializer to bind the data to and from Java bean classes.
Yes, they are elegant and nice for web-related queries, but for a business
2-tier application it suffers from the same problems that I mentioned earlier.
I'll create a blog post and a screencast to showcase BRAP for Pivot as soon as
I can, I think many would benefit greatly from that kind of remoting
capabilities in their app :)
Sounds good.
FWIW, I just read your Javalobby article on BRAP:
http://java.dzone.com/announcements/brap-trouble-free-lightning
While Web Queries don't allow you to define your services using interfaces,
they do support binary serialization (for example, via
org.apache.pivot.serialization.BinarySerializer) as well as custom
authentication and authorization (see org.apache.pivot.web.Authentication).
Cool :) I will look through the source code as well, this seems really
useful for more generic/web centric usecases. Pivot packs a lot of
functionality into a small footprint :)
