Hi all, we have a web app based on Wicket, Tomcat 7 etc. and one of our customers has a native Windows only app which is about to be replaced now to 1. support Android as well, 2. add some missing features and 3. provide some more modern GUI and such. The two most interesting things for that replacement from my point of view are that the new app needs to be able to work totally offline and that its current and some of the new features contains things the customer already asked for the Wicket-web app we've created as well.
Working offline is a hard requirement, so we can't just use the Wicket web app as it is. But because features are clearly overlapping we don't want to maintain a very comparable feature set with two different technologies for years to come. Our customer totally agrees with that and sees the functional overlapping as well. So, is there already any experience or suggestions about or "down votes" of an approach were one would embed some servlet container in an Android app and provide the frontend using Wicket, HTML, JS and CSS? This shouldn't be too much of a problem with Windows desktops, but a completely different thing for Android. I've found some posts about Jetty and Tomcat regarding this, which don't look very promising. But how about Wicket itself? Maybe someone already tried or knows it's impossible because of the Android API or Dalvik or such. Any thoughts welcome, thanks!
