User interface framework

The UI framework of the Factory extends Google Web Toolkit (GWT) in order to provide embeddable views, dynamic loading of modules, views communications and so on. A model has been defined, allowing a service to define several views that will be used in different use cases. A global UI is being defined, to coordinate those views and provide to the user a coherent and unified view.

• UI Components are maven-based as abstract services
• Same language for abstract services and UI components
• Complete development process for UI and services can be done in the same IDE

You can have a look at the UI component model here.
