Potential Project

One potential project may be to take the cabin finder application and port it to run on MongoDB with JBoss 7 as a container.  Then run in on Amazon EC2.  Then hook up an android UI.

To get started we could use Seam forge with the already built JPA entities for the cabin finder application.  Forge can create a JSF UI for us and a deployment to JBoss AS7.  We could tweak the UI to use primefaces and google maps widgets.  JBoss Tools 3.3 will help us with cloud deployment.  Then we could dive into MetaWidget a little bit to get an Android UI to work with it.

So while it may seem like a circuitous route to get there, I think a bit more diving into Seam Forge and Metawidget is the first order of business.  If we can accomplish our goals thru them with as little code as possible, then maybe we're on the right track.

To get started I'll download AS7, Eclipse Indigo and JBoss Tools 3.3.

JBoss Tools: Install thru eclipse add new site: http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/trunk/

Unzip Indigo and JBoss AS7.  Fire up eclipse and setup the JBoss 7 server.
