[deepamehta-devel] Question About the Webclients Controller

[Jörn Weißenborn]

Hi,

thanks for clarification. But still a few questions:

I also want to employ the assoc, topicmap and topic models of the standart
client. Is there a stright forward way to e.g. get a topicmap_viewmodel in
my application?

How does the RestClient know where to connect?

Are you planning to provide a "standart" websocketservice?


Best,

Joern
