I gather that this was all done with the existing framework.
Do we have to put the framework issue to bed before starting to work on
mobile or is the REST interface(API) sufficiently stable or framework
independent to move forward with a mobile strategy while still wondering
about the future of the framework?

We have delivered mobile applications which are in production with the help
of Ionic framework (http://ionicframework.com/ ) on top of OFBiz .
Experience so far is good and ionic community is really active , growing
and helping community.
As Ean mentioned, " *you no longer render pages on the server and send them
to the client. **To behave like an actual "app" you need to approach it as
a program written in Javascript that renders HTML interfaces locally and
communicates with the server using a combination of JSON-RPC and REST.* "
This is really important point here when you are building mobile apps.
Jacopo also have done improvements in OFBiz, with the help of them you
can call OFBiz out of the box services and events as APIs . Services and
events are able to accept Json and return Json in OFBiz which will help you
to build mobile applications on top of OFBiz.
Thanks

The trouble with AngularJS is that they have a terrible case of NIH and are
re-inventing all the existing popular patterns like IOC, dependency
management and observer style data change events. In the 1.0 version they
were dismissive of problems like dependency management and let rediscover
the pains of not being able to fractionally load their infrastructure even
though it has been a solved problem for tools like RequireJS for a long
time. Now the roadmap for AngularJS 2.0 is so different from 1.0 that it
might as well be regarded as a different product and there is also real
cloudiness around the relationship between AngularJS and Polymer. Google is
developing both so the "it's made by Google" argument that usually puts
wind in Angular's sails isn't applicable.

Good analysis.
I wonder if Ionic is a good choice for a portable mobile framework.
http://ionicframework.com/
One does not want to get tied up in low level support for all the flavors
of mobile devices.
It is open source and supports AngularJS which seems to be a good model
for building Javascript applications,

The real difficulty is that if you want a genuinely mobile app and not
just
"mobile web" then the approach has to completely switch. With a Cordova
app
you no longer render pages on the server and send them to the client. To
behave like an actual "app" you need to approach it as a program written
in
Javascript that renders HTML interfaces locally and communicates with
the
server using a combination of JSON-RPC and REST. This would represent an
enormous refactoring of the entire interface but it would open whole new
horizons from a UI perspective. David has made some real improvements to
handle REST in Moqui's version of the control servlet that we would also
need to bring in (ie. you can bind services to a combination of URL and
HTTP method).

Hi all,
There are a lot of mobile specific development frameworks out there.
There
are even a few projects under the ASF umbrella that cater to that need.
What would you consider the best solution to pair OFBiz with? Of are
the
capabilities it delivers sufficient?
Please share your thoughts.
Best regards,
Pierre Smits
