Folks;
so far considering a technology for re-building parts of our on-line
services, RAP has found its way on our agenda for several reasons, but
before making an actual decision, I need to get some basic questions
answered. Most important to us in the moment: We so far run a more or less
sophisticated JavaEE/Spring backend system housed in a Glassfish V2
application container for the sake of load balancing, cluster-failover and EAI.
* Will a RAP based application smoothly fit in there in terms of being
seamlessly deployed to Glassfishv2/v3 (Servlet Bridge) and in terms of
seamlessly accessing information coming from the "web session environment"
(most notably HTTP authentication user information, session ids, the like)?
* Does a RAP application hold up to Java EE clustering requirements and
session failover in such a setup?
* We so far are running 20..50 concurrent users, which is to somewhat
increase when the new UI is done, so we are planning to cater for something
up to 200 concurrent users working with the system. Are there any general
considerations against RAP looking at these user numbers, or is it still
considered "small" in terms of that technology? Would it do?
* Asides this: Our schedule for at least reaching a prototype is rather
short here, so, knowing it's our general decision, we would like to both
have (=buy) some days of in-house training focused on building Eclipse
RCP/RAP applications to get us started quickly and to have an option of
buying developer support resources for having our most important questions
during building the prototype answered. We're located in Germany - if
there's anyone here thinking (s)he can provide us with this kind of service,
feel free to contact me off-group.
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Kristian

RAP requires a servlet API (version 2.3 to 2.5) to run on and
provides access to the "standard" javax.servlet API.
I know of at least on case in which RAP is successfully used in
tandem with a JavaEE/Spring backend.

If only considering the UI, 200 concurrent users is a moderate
number. The rest depends on what resource requirements your
applications has.

Innoopract offers these services. I will ask someone form our sales
team to contact you.

Hi Rüdiger;
and first off, thanks a bunch for your insightful comments on that.

Okay. This is good as this is a core requirement in our case.

Also fine. The rest of the application will remain the same as it is now
more or less (apart from introducing a thin layer of middleware / "glue
code" to attach the UI).

Okay, thanks a bunch. I also used the Innoopract online contact form on
Friday outlining a few of our requirements and basically asking the same
questions, would be great if we could get something done here. :)
Cheers & thanks,
Kristian
