• A little supplementary description


What is webSpoon?

2

• This is a web-based Spoon.• Spoon relies on SWT for UI widgets: SWT is great for making it OS

agnostic, but it locks it as a desktop app.• RAP/RWT (one of Eclipse projects) provides web UIs with SWT API, so

replacing SWT with RAP/RWT allows Spoon to run as a web app with a little code change.


Use cases (but not limited to)

3

1. PDI on-the-go– Access from smartphone/tablet.

2. Security– Keep sensitive data where they should be.

3. No installation– Kick-start hands-on– Be nice to thin clients

4. Seamless user experience between BA and DIA. Edit Kettle queries in CDEB. Edit Kettle endpoints in App Builder (aka Sparkl)


Use case 4-A: Edit Kettle files in CDE

4

• webSpoon would allows a CDE developer to edit Kettle files on CDE.


Use case 4-B: Edit Kettle endpoints in App Builder

5

• It would also allows an App developer to edit Kettle files on App Builder.


Technology

SWT and RWT

7

• RWT is a web alternative to SWT, which largely implements the same API as SWT.

• With RAP/RWT, most of the codebase can be reused.
