Prototype of an openPETRA web application

OM has created a prototype of a rich web client that can login to the openPETRA server and bring up forms.

Demo: some web forms that were made with and for openPETRA can be found here: http://demo.openpetra.org/ (esp. the last two links on that page).

We use the ext.net prototype already in production for managing the TeenStreet conference in Germany.

That's where we left it at - at least for the moment.

If your organisation is keen on having a rich web interface, it should be possible to build on that and make it more elegant and functional.

• The web client can use the popular SOAP protocol for communication with the openPETRA server.
• Since openPETRA's screens and forms are done with a generator that has a plug-in interface for the output that is generated, it is possible to generate rich web client code (e.g. utilising Ext.Net) out of YAML definition files (similar to those of screen/form YAML files which are used for the Windows Forms Client application)!
• For a more functional web interface, a thin application layer that would run inside the web server might need to be developed.
