This page describes the I-Card Manager Web Application (org.eclipse.higgins.icm). The org.eclipse.higgins.icm contains Web components that are packaged as WAR file. The conventions for Web applications are discussed more in Strategy for Web Applications.
Overview
The i-card manager provides users with a web-based management interface to the user's I-Cards and underlying context data (if any). This app is accessed by pressing a button (currently a Higgins mouse icon/button) that is added to the browser's toolbar. From a browser, users select from these i-cards to manage it.
In essence, the org.eclipse.higgins.icm consists of a front-end user Web site, which provides a face to its users, and a back-end WS client, which accesses the I-Card Service.
This application provides the Web pages that let users select, create or update i-cards. The Web site application is responsible for coordinating all activities necessary to manage user's i-cards.
Service
The Web site application is responsible for coordinating all activities necessary to manage user's i-cards.
Implementation
- Front end: Google GWT web application for users
- Back end: acts as a client of the I-Card Service.
