Hi, We are using Struts 2 for a web application that we have been developed for about a year. The app uses Dojo on the client side to build the UI, and has a mix of 'normal' screens (Struts + Tiles + JSP) and a lot of AJAX/JSON (also through Struts) actions to request information from the client to the app.
The thing is that we have been asked to create an iPad app with the same functionality as the web app. Our first approach is to write a small thick client (iOS app) that will take care of the presentation layer, and reuse the action we have developed as much as possible. The communication between the app and the server side would be made using webservices or JSON over HTTP(The later option is preferred to avoid the overload introduced by the webservice). We would need to create new JSON actions in order to provide the information that today is only provided when doing a normal navigation, and maybe we would redo the normal navigations to relay more heavily on JSON so we would have more common code. Has anyone done something like this? Is there something obviously wrong or that could be improved on? Any thoughts about this? Thanks Jose Luis
