Hey German - thanks for the prod ;)

It's pretty much on hold at the moment while I work out how actually useful it will be.

I've been using Vaadin with OSGi recently and that kind of negates the need for this really.

Taban is/was supposed to act as a generic database on the server for RIAs with the majority of code in the client, but using Vaadin has made me look at that approach with some skepticism. Vaadin actually does a great job of allowing you to build an RIA in pure Java but producing a client side based on HTML/JS - but the code is safely hidden away on the server.

Will probably review it again in a couple of weeks. (JAX London next week!)

It isn't available just yet. I was hoping to work on it over the Christmas holiday period but something else came up instead. I still intended releasing this, so watch this space.

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for the comments guys - much appreciated.

Checked out Couchdb a while ago. It's cool but ... it's Erlang (nothing wrong with that, but I wanted something specifically for OSGi) and (if I remember rightly) wasn't that easy to setup (I could be wrong).

So busy at work just now - this code is pretty much ready to go, but I really want to put a front end on it before I release it in to the wild. Am going to use Apache Pivot (because I'm a committer) and I'm thinking Echo3 because it looks pretty cool. :)

Cheers,
Chris

I have been thinking along the same lines too. There is a niche that this can cover. If you need any assistance or are interested in a sounding board, please feel free to contact me. Good Luck!

Chris,

Have you tried couchdb yet? Taban sounds similar, but with the added advantage of running in osgi (couchdb is based in Erlang).
