Problem:
How to present a rich user, expressive interface to a consumer in a user-friendly manner, which allows invocations of X services on a P2P network via a web interface.
Requirements:
- Run in any web browser and hence minimal dependency.
- Needs to be embedable within a web browser (the universal application!).
- That what is executed to present the UI needs to be verifiable e.g. via digital signatures.
- No remote code downloading once the UI has loaded. This presents security concerns and proxying issues.
- Standard based and compliant to that standard.
- Rich set of controls to express a business' service offering
- A low developer learning curve and preferably an eclipse GUI builder, if not an XML schema.
- It's got to look good - I don't know about you but any application is sold within the first 2 minutes of it been used by a consumer. If it looks clunky, it's not intuitive, not entertaining.... forget it!
