Hi,

I found the following document
http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/php/attachment.php?bugid= 3833 and have
some questions regarding the big and very colorful architecture diagram on
page 7.

Server Side:
1) What is RWT the akronym for?
2) What is W4T the akronym for? Is this term deprecated?

Client Side:
3) What is the RAP-Runtime Application?

General:
4) Shall same colors on left and right side respectively indicate some
relations?

Cheers
/Eike

Hi Eike,
see my Comments inline.

Server Side:
1) What is RWT the akronym for?
RWT stands for Rap Widget Toolkit.
2) What is W4T the akronym for? Is this term deprecated?
W4T stands for "World Wide Web Windowing Toolkit" and is a technology from
Innoopract, the Developers of RAP. The RAP-Technology is fundamentally
based on the W4T-Technology


Shall same colors on left and right side respectively indicate some
relations?
I dont think so, because these things have nothing in common especially

Greetings

Martin

Hi Eike,

The chart you are referring to is not completely accurate, we will
update it for the EclipseCon slides ;-)

But maybe this description can help in the meantime. Think about RAP as

a) a web-enabled wigdet toolkit (RWT)
- can be run standalone (inside a servlet container) or with OSGI,
just like SWT
- uses ajax to communicate between the server and the client
- is a sort of half-object pattern, but the browser-side half object
is in JavaScript (qooxdoo)
b) a multi-user enabled version of JFace and the Workbench built on
top of RWT

Does that help?

Jochen
