Concerning GWT, it seems that we can support HTTP requests [1] (with JSON or XML) and avoid GWT RPC. RPC is certainly nice for java developers but if we want to have a common foundation for the JCR browser that can be integrated with different web UI frameworks, it is certainly better to avoid

Just FYI there is a *very* basic repository explorer example included as part of the Dojo-Sling bundle, on the demo page /dojox/data/demo/demo4.html. It refers to some sample content that appears to have disappeared from the build (at /samplenodes), so it doesn't work out of the box. If you

Just to add my 2 cents: as we're talking about sling here, the explorer should rather be based on the resource tree and not be tied directly to jcr. If someone wants to develop a pure jcr explorer based on Sling, that's of course fine as well, but the real thing would be resource based :) Carsten

I wish I were at a stage to share some success. Most of you are probably way ahead of me on this. Bundlizing a GWT application that runs correctly in Sling needs a workaround to access the generated nocache.js. Otherwise, connecting externally through an HTTPProxy would work, though not ideal.
