I think I asked my question the wrong way.<br clear="none" class="" style="">
I want to replace the generated ui by my own rest interface so that tohu is encapsulated on my service layer.</div>
<div dir="ltr" class="" style="">It looks like a fine product but overall it was hard to find the right maven repo (jboss developer) and I had to build it from svn. I got it working but a more 'out-of-the-box' approach would help it getting spread. The examples included are very
good and I found some good YouTube video's so kudos for that :)</div>

this returns into various PossibleAnswer objects. It'll be cleaner if you put most of the code in a Java class and then declare this as a global within the rules.</span></div>
