I am attempting to reproduce locally in a clean plugin project.

Actually I think that perhaps the best solution is actuallly just to expose MVEL as a dependency to plugins that request it. This would be the simplest solution IMO, and would only request code-changes in the Forge plugin installer:

From what I can tell - the Aerogear scaffold is not being picked up as a ScaffoldProvider, which is odd... Ryan, have you actually tried running your scaffold provider in a real forge runtime? Does it get picked up when you run *scaffold setup --scaffoldType xxxxx *? ~Lincoln On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 4:23 PM, Richard Kennard <richard(a)kennardconsulting.com <mailto:richard@kennardconsulting.com>> wrote: Pete: could you try running with VERBOSE set to true?

I actually can't get plugins working on my Windows machine (see earlier post), so I've just been building via unit tests this whole time (see https://github.com/forge/scaffold-aerogear/blob/master/src/test/java/org/...).

So you are talking about the work beyond that? Understood, and yes this would be something additional. For an example, please see the 'GWT Client Side' demo in the Metawidget examples distribution. This is written using GWT compiled to JavaScript. Are you are asking for something similar, but a POH5 version? The GWT solution could be very interesting, both the approach and the possible implication with poh5 (not mutually exclusive) Regards, Richard.

I believe that such a service (especially if scaffolded with Forge) should use JSON throughout (rather than form data), and I *believe* this is what the Forge JAX-RS plugin does too, but I would have to check on that. In a more elaborate context like Forge, we could pair that with Backbone.js (or something else that Jay&co love, but I think Bb.js was the belle of the ball) and use fetch()/save()/destroy() capabilities to streamline CRUD.

As a first step towards a Forge/Metawidget/AeroGear/POH5 scaffolding, I am working on a POH5 CRUD app. The 'jboss-html5-mobile-archetype' has given me a great head start, but there is some way to go. The first significant roadblock I have hit is *updating* existing entities. The archetype doesn't really cover this, but it sets a direction when it does... @POST @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED) @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) public Response createMember(@FormParam("name") String name ... A simple approach would be to simply add... @POST @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED) @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) public Response createMember(@FormParam("id") String id, @FormParam("name") String name ... However this would make the cardinal mistake of 'trusting the client' (to send back the original id). Instead, I think we need to keep a copy of any hidden data on the server, in a ConversationScope, just as we do with JSF. Unfortunately RESTEasy doesn't seem to play well with ConversationScope? The documentation for resteasy-cdi is unclear, but Jason Porter has investigated and concluded conversations are not supported (as REST does not convey any kind of session, let alone a conversation). So where to from here? 1. Ignore this security problem and continue passing hidden data to/from the client 2. Look at encrypting the data passed between client/server (rather like an encrypted view state) 3. Work with Pete/Jozef to get ConversationScopes working between jQuery/RESTEasy/CDI 4. Something else?

Just FYI. If I am not mistaken, you are probably attempting to access the MVEL CompiledTemplate in order to access the textual representation of the template itself? If that is the case, what you should do instead is: InputStream templateStream = template.getSourceTemplateResource().getInputStream(); String templateContents = Streams.toString(templateStream); I know this is somewhat more verbose, but it will work, and does not access implementation details of Seam Render (which are, I might add, my mistake for revealing in the API.) I hope this helps, ~Lincoln
