Many of AeroGear's primary goals are to provide HTML5 extensions for web applications, both mobile and desktop based.

Today, we are in our prototyping and discovery phases. So it's a great time for you to get involved as part of the AeroGear community and to build something cool!

Web Storage (localStorage, indexedDB, etc...)

• Java application server + services exposed via JAX-RS
• Security. Encrypted data both in transport and on client side
• Java -> JSON -> Java translation
• Incremental Sync. Tracking objects as they change on the client side in localStorage.
• Pluggable with Hibernate
• More soon....

Prototypes:

• none yet

Web Sockets (with graceful degradation)

• Ideally, the Web Socket connection will be provided by the app server (AS7)
• Graceful degradation is a must. If Web Sockets isnt available on the client, provide long polling or another Comet based solution.
• Proxy traversal - In many corporate IT environments, Web Sockets will not carry the connection. Using a secure wss:// connection gurantees success in most cases.
• A programming model which integrates nicely with existing frameworks like CDI, GWT, JSF, etc..
• More soon...

Prototypes:

• Errai (GWT based): https://github.com/errai/errai/tree/master/errai-bus/src/main/java/org/jboss/errai/bus/server/io/websockets
