We have to implement an admin web site for entering / editing our static
data in the DB. The data is hierarchical. Lets take a company example.
We will have Company entity (DB table), the company will have children
entities - Department, it will again have children - Employee, and again
it will have children entities Job. Some of these will be many to many
relations. So the entities (DB tables) looks like:
Company->Department->Worker->Job.
We need a UI which can be used to easily enter and edit this data. We
have two possibilities for UI:
1. Sub-dialogs
We will need following work-flow:
- Create / Edit Company
- In the edit Company page the Department children should be displayed
- Add a new Department for this company, or edit existing. This
should open a sub-dialog.
- From the Department sub-dialog there should be a possibility to
edit its children entities - Employee or add new ones
- etc.
2. Clickable Breadcrumb
Similar to above, but instead of opening new sub-dialog every time, a
new page will be opened. Using the breadcrumb the user can navigate
back. So if the user is editing a Employee the breadcrumb will look like:
Company 1 -> Department 1 -> Employee 1
Using the breadcrumb the user can navigate back to "Company 1" or
"Department 1".

Do you think this can be easy achieved with Apache ISIS. It will be very
helpful if you can provide some guidance or examples.
Thanks in advance.
