At the moment I’m building a couple of prototypes meant to be used as proof-of-concepts for the current project.
Part of the concept I’m trying to proof is the fact that it is possible to build framework independent applications on top of MMBase .
The prototypes use Spring to wire stuff together, the integration with MMBase was done by writing a superclass called MMBaseDAOSupport which is quite similar to springs’ Hibernate DAO support. The similarity is so close that the prototype allows swapping MMBase and Spring on configuration level; ideal for comparing solutions!
Part of the concept is the exposure of objects in the mmbase cloud to javascript by using DWR (direct web remoting); using DWRs’ Spring bindings made doing this really easy.
If I’m finished benchmarking and analyzing the prototypes I’ll probable write an in-depth post explaining what I had to do to get it to work!
