Technology

When the Calamari project was started, as a side project, there were several goals we wished to achieve:

  • Use JavaFX for a front-end to see whether it was ready for production use,
  • Use Java API for Restful Web Services JAX-RS, to get some exposure to restful web service issues,
  • Create an engine we could use to expose other log files in future if needed,
  • Leave the possibility open to do the front-end in another technology such as Adobe Flex or Google GWT
  • Obtain insight into our small office's proxy server logs,

This may have resulted in an architecture which some will consider over-engineered or overkill. Oh well.
