Re: [canvas-developers] Interest Check in Standardized Deployment Methods

I think we're on the same wavelength here. I was also thinking something along the lines of a JAR for Javascript. Here's the RFC I posted on the WiiCade forums on that idea:


However, it's probably best to ditch the extra MANIFEST.MF and/or WEB-INF data. Those are Java-specific forms of Meta Data. I was thinking of a similar idea, but in JSON format:


The nice thing about using JSON is that it leaves the option open for client-based integration. e.g. Rather than having a JSP or PHP page write out an IFRAME or include the script, I could have a bit of AJAX code read the extracted manifest from the server and generate the correct elements to display the application.

Thanks!

since the real entry point for the javascript app remains some document, that document could have standart default information block, but it does not solve the problem about package all files on a easy way.

i've suggested .war because it's just a .zip file, the java-ish info (located inside *-INF folders) can easily be ignored.

As in Java Web Application Archives? Doesn't that seem a bit heavy-weight? WAR files would have to be deployed as complete Java applications on a servlet-capable server. My concern is that this would destroy server portability, and I don't think it's a safe bet that most hosting services would be running a Java-based server.

it's a good idea, the task seems very simple now: get the ".jzip"(this ahven't anme yet, right?) file, upack it, read metaconfig and open the main document. ...

... That's basically it! The devil is in the details, of course. What exactly will the meta-config tell the platform? Do we open the main document in an IFrame...
