Think "Apache Camel & friends"Are we still talking about a "Mobil Gateway" [1] and to have a "no code" solution for developers to use?
I've been looking at this previously, and I'm having a hard time to understand who would really use something like this for anything except a simple demo. It would be a different matter if we were going to provided BaaS (Backend as a Service) as we would have more control of the backend and could add features in a reliable way (paging, security etc). If our Mobil Gateway is simply acting as a intercepting proxy it would be more complicated to add such features, and this added complexity might introduce other issue with regard to connectivity and performance.
If our goal is to enable enterprise services to be exposed to mobile devices then I think the simplest option for me would be to add a RESTFul interface to those services. This can already be done with Camel, SwitchYard, Vert.x, or by using RestEasy. I would think that a developer tasked with this would want to follow "normal" development practises, using standard development tools, testing, deployment model etc, and not use a web interface perform these task. We could provide all that via the GUI, but my guess would be that developers would choose the standard way just the same.
