[deepamehta-devel] Question About the Webclients Controller

[Jörn Weißenborn]

Cool, thanks. I play with it.

As a idea for future: Wouldn't it be nice to have a kind of JavaScript
service which an 3rd party developer can simply employ by adding script tag
to its main index? Especially with all the modern mvc framworks, I think it
would cool if a developer could something like creating a list of all
topics in a given topicmap by doing something like

dm4.iteratatopics(idoftopicmaps, function(t) {
   $("#myelement").append(p).text(t.value)
})

I think the standart clients models are of very general use, since most
applications interacting with deepamehta would need to translate its models
into a dm model anyway. So with such a service, a developer could focus an
the important part, which is the map between his view and dms datamodel.

Best, Joern
