History

We had a version of AppFuse running in 2007 that handled user management and provided a RESTful set of web services for accessing data and analytics. We stored some user project info using the user management system. This system was used by several? MONK browser clients.

In late 2007 James set up a web services framework called CXF as a servlet, and using maven, that would allow us to serve up annotated web services (REST/SOAP/JSON), but without security or user management, so no storage of user specific detail. This was set up because there was a deadline in December to have a minimal set of services, without security, running. Amit's servlet, however, seemed to satsify that deadline, and the CXF servlet wasn't used. The idea had been, though, to bring into the new CXF servlet the 4 java beans that amit had created in his servlet.
