Subject: ZK framework and Apache Tuscany
Dear Apache Tuscany users and developers:
As a newbie to the -- IMHO -- *phenomenal* Apache Tuscany framework I'm
now wondering about the following issues which would be very important for
my next steps with it:
1. Which version -- i.e. Tuscany 1.4 or directly Tuscany 2.0-M2 -- would
be the best for developing new project prototypes in the fields of
SOAified web apps?
We have two active development streams at this moment:
* 1.x for the OSOA based SCA 1.0 specifications. It's fairly stable and
complete in functionalities.
* 2.x for the OASIS based SCA 1.1 specifications (drafts). The kernel is
OSGi compatible. It's still under development. We are focusing on the
refining the architecture and implementing OASIS specs. Only a subset of
extensions (implementation and binding types) are supported.
2. Do there exist one or more possibilities to integrate the "ZK Direct
RIA" Open Source framework (http://www.zkoss.org) into an Tuscany-based
web app?
I read about one possibility of integrating ZK with a Spring WebFlow app,
which I suppose could be integrated into Tuscany, couldn't it? Thus, the
following subquestions arise:
(a) Do this way function in conjuction with Tuscany? I.e., do someone have
some working samples I could take a glimpse at?
(b) Do there exist a "more direct" integration without involving the
Spring framework? -- A plain JavaSE or may be a JavaEE app would be
preferred.
How would such a solution look like?
I'm not an expert on web frameworks. Tuscany/SCA provides a good way to
build business logic as components and compose them into solutions in a
technology-neutral fashion. In the web 2.0 area, Tuscany allows SCA services
to be exposed to JSONRPC or ATOM/RSS Feed so the typical web 2.0 client
(such as DOJO) can talk to back-end services. Tuscany also provides a way to
model the JavaScript as an SCA component (implementation.widget) with
references to other services and inject JavaScript proxies to interact with
the JSONRPC services.
Thank you very much for any help and constructive hints in advance.
Best regards,
Florian
