While our current Widget extension provides good functionality to allow Web 2.0 applications easy access to SCA Services, we have some issues around browser support, JavaScript code optimization, etc. I want to start some prototyping around this area to create some extension points that would allow different bindings to plug it's own version of the JavaScript Proxy used by JavaScript SCA References. With this, we could use specialized frameworks, such as Dojo, and leverage the strengths of such framework and it's native support for things like json-rpc, atom, etc in the Widget Implementation.
For now, I'll try to make this optional, but once I start making progress, we could evaluate if we want to continue maintaining our own set of JavaScript, or we are comfortable migrating to use a spcific framework to give us the necessary support. Also, as Dojo already have native support for json-rpc and atom, I'll start playing with that in my prototypes.
