Building Rich Enterprise Web Apps in the Cloud

Benjamin Mestrallet, CEO of eXo, discusses the evolution from traditional enterprise web app frameworks to modern, cloud-based solutions utilizing consumer web technologies like gadgets, OpenSocial, and GWT. He reflects on his early work in creating the JSR 168 portlet container and how it paved the way for eXo's platform, which leverages lightweight, client-side technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. These gadgets, which interact with servers via REST APIs, offer a more efficient and universal development process compared to the legacy portlet model. Mestrallet highlights a use-case involving a Marketing Mashup application that simplifies data integration from multiple sources using eXo's platform, illustrating a new generation of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The platform enables developers to build, test, and deploy applications entirely online in a web IDE, enhancing the accessibility and functionality of enterprise applications through seamless integration with mobile apps and other OpenSocial containers.
