I have retail POS (Place of service) system implemented in .net and java swing versions. This is desktop application. Is it possible to integrate this into Web portal/application using some EAI/ middleware tools? or is there any approach to make it online with out redeveloping UI?
What kind of integration are you talking about? If about accessing data from/to then that should be feasible and there can be plenty of approach/tools/solutions for the same.
or is there any approach to make it
online with out redeveloping UI?
You can look at virtualized applications/desktops solutions (e.g Citrix XenApp, VMware Desktop as Service) where your desktop applications can be made available over internet.

The idea of my project is to communicate Alfresco Share with my app server, but I found that Share only can communicate with Alfresco Repository, and to do the manipulation I said before I must develop all APIs that let the Share communicate with my app server. Since Share communicates only with Alfresco Repository, I'm searching a way to communicate my server app with this Repository, so my documents will be in Alfresco server and Share can then expose them. If I'm missing something to understand please correct me.
Can anyone please help me. Thanks in advance.
As Jeff Potts mentioned in his last book:
Alfresco provides four main ways to develop your own UI:
Share customizations
Angular applications using ADF Application Development Framework
Any JavaScript framework (using the Alfresco JavaScript API)
Any application capable of using the CMIS protocol
I want to develop my iPhone app but I am not sure what could be the options I have for hosting database and webservice to communicate with my iPhone App. Could someone please suggest me what could be the best way to go for this?
I know how to build everything but never come across this situation. I have been working in environment where we ask Admin to give us Server where we host everything but if I want to do it myself and don't have server infrastructure what could be the options do I have? Do I need to purchase from web hosting provider?
Thanks.
From my experience, I've developed back-end part for iPad client. It was REST, ASP.NET Web API (WCF Web API) and as database on back-end MS SQL Server and MySQL.
Anyway for mobile clients you can freely use REST. It can be ASP.NET Web API from .NET or other libraries that help to make REST services for example from Java.
REST is good consumed by mobile client applications. And then from client application perspective, it's no matter what database back-end will have.
Speaking about hosting it also depends from requirements to back-end. When you have no server infrastructure, you can use cloud PaaS like Amazon AWS (EC2) for example. Or host server it by yourslef.
Im interested in doing some development from my iPad, and one idea I had would be to code from the safari browser. Does anyone know of a way to set up eclipse on a cloud-based server, so that it can be accessed from a browser?
I believe, you will need the following parts to make it work
The cloud server must be based on one of the supported Eclipse Target Environments.
The cloud server provider must support UI based on some sort of remote desktop - e.g. VNC. Be aware that many cloud providers does not allow UI.
iPad must support the same remote desktop technology. There seem to be many VNC implementations for iPad...
I guess the difficult part is to find a cloud server to use. Though you, as an alternative, could use any PC with an VNC server where you have Internet access...
If I develop a chat server using Twisted, where can I deploy it?
Suppose I develop a web application. I can deploy it on any commercial server which allows hosting of web applications.
But if I devlop a comet using twisted, where can I deploy it?
What kind of server do I need for this?
In short I want to know where can I host my comet server.
I want to deploy a application similar to http://omegle.com/.
This site also used Twisted.
You can deploy Twisted on any hosting provider who gives you a shell prompt and doesn't limit your long-running processes.
Some examples that I've used include: Tummy ltd. and Slicehost.
Our team is planning on making a thick client into a web based UI. We are researching the various options and GWT is something that we are researching. I have a question if GWT can be deployed by itself (meaning, does it have a built-in web server that can be deployed as a solution?) Appreciate thoughts about it.
Thanks in advance.
If your application is completely client-side and does not need to communicate with a server (for data purposes), then you can use any web server. GWT compiles to static JavaScript files, so you can use apache or any other web server to serve up the static files.
If there is a server-side component to your application then you'll need a servlet container.
No built-in web server really except for the development platform which include one... but it's not meant for production.
