Roadmap and basic understanding

[mark.engel]

Hello guys,

first of all: Errai is a really nice project.

Working with Errai-Bus is fun.

I have a few questions concerning the project.

How is the project seen in the JBoss community?

From the subversion logs I can only see a few developers

and there is, besides the errai-bus, not a lot of documentation.

I'm asking, because I'm evaluating to use Errai in a new projects.

My question is whether there are plans to continue Errai for a longer period.

Also I'm struggeling with Authentication and Authorisation.

Unfortunately I am not from an Java EE background, so I am not too familiar with this subject.

The users of the project are mapped to java beans.

What is the best practice to use Errais implemented authentication with this setup?

Are there some compact code examples available?

While trying to figure out how authentication works in Errai I stumbled about the workspaces.

Unfortunately the documentation doesnt show how to build a workspace application (it stops after maven archetype and gwt:run)

Is there a small example project which uses workspaces (preferably with an authentication example ;))?

Currently I only found bpm-console, which is not really an example project.

How is the project seen in the JBoss community?

is being used both internally by jboss and by the community.

My question is whether there are plans to continue Errai for a longer period.

yes, definitely.

Authentication and Authorisation.

you are right. this topic is not very well documented. basically it relies on JAAS. the most simple example can be found here:

https://github.com/errai/errai-cdi/tree/master/examples/gui/war/

Take a look at

- ErraiService.porperties

- login.config

- user.properties

- roles.properties

Workspaces

Workspaces is documented here:

http://download.jboss.org/errai/docs/1.1.0-CR2/userguide/index.html#workspace-api

Let me know if that helps.

Thank you Heiko,

i tried your example, but it failed to build (gwts jetty does start and terminates directly with an error https://gist.github.com/a421436ce9aad279a82b)

uncommenting gui module from parent does not help, too.

anyhow i will look at the example source code.

[heiko.braun]

Can you try 1.1-Final and let me know if this problem still exist for you?

[mark.engel]

still exists

[heiko.braun]

It seems to be a problem with maven version < 3.0. Is it possible for you to upgrade?

[mark.engel]

you are right. with mvn3 there are no problems.

Hello,

I had the same issue but mvn 3 did not fix it. I've added the following dependency in order to work around the problem:

<dependency> 
  <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> 
  <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId> 
  <version>1.6.1</version> 
</dependency>
