Hi Marcel, I’m glad to read your response, thank you very much. When I didn't get a response a thought you found my question too stupid :)
With no delay I’ll clarify my previous post as I had new requirements from our Customer departments. The New UI that now I’m working on, should just have 2 panels. One will display the distributions and the seconds the Targets (and the Targets definition same as Apache Ace, for now, just 1 type of target). For the distributions Panel, it will have 2 buttons, one to load the existing distributions from Apache Ace server and the 2 button is to add new distribution from file System as you do when you upload artifact and add it to the Artifacts panel. The raison we omit the Artifacts and Features panels, is because the users of this new UI are not IT guys, and found the UI apache Ace complex for them to use. So I thought the quickest way to develop this new UI is to use the Apache Ace Rest client, to get the data from the Apache Ace server. I’m having some issues with the ACE REST client API. I had mentioned those issues in an other post and I’ll not bring them here to not confuse other users when they read. Thank you very much for your response and your help is much appreciated.

Just so I understand you correctly: you have two types of targets: 1) Servers. 2) Clients (where each client belongs to a server). Both types of targets get provisioned by ACE? > The requirements that I have needs a modification of the target list of the > Apache Ace web Gui.

The web UI code is in one bundle, it interacts with the ACE client code, which is in another bundle. Where you should start depends a bit on the changes you want to make. Greetings, Marcel
