Hello everyone I wrote a short article proposes a plug-in management architecture for GWT/AppEngine applications, see http://honeycrm.googlecode.com/files/BoostExtensibilityAndSimplifyMaintainabilityOfWebApplicationsProposalsForGoogleWebToolkitPlugInArchitectures.pdf. Now, I would like to invite the community to discuss my proposal. Thanks in advance to everyone for reading and discussing the proposal.
Abstract: The extensibility of Google Web Toolkit (GWT) applications running on the Google App Engine platform is currently limited due to the absence of a plug-in infrastructure. Even though for desktop, server, and web applications, plug-ins have been existing for decades, they are not prevalent in GWT today. In this article, I outline the development environment restrictions that make it a challenge to provide dynamic plug-in loading support. I assume that the introduction of a plug-in architecture would dramatically enhance the extensibility and the maintainability of GWT applications. Therefore, this article proposes approaches for statically and dynamically loaded plug-ins for GWT applications.
