ESIGate Tutorial – Part 1
November 28th, 2010(Ce tutorial est aussi disponible en Français : ESIGate Tutorial – Partie 1)
In this series, I will present the various uses of ESIGate framework (former Assembly Web Tool – WAT).
In Part 1, we will integrate a very simple application in a remote template, only via http. The typical use is a corporate intranet: multiple different applications (content management, HR management, time reporting, etc …) can use the same theme, based on a master application.
This has the following benefits:
- almost no need to work on styling (html/css) in slave applications.
- When the theme changes in the master application, the changes are immediately reflected on all slave applications without restart
- the master application can be replaced with no impact if the new theme is compatible
- If the new master application is incompatible with the previous theme, the synchronization can be ‘broken’ by pointing slave applications on a static html file
