Can I use Shindig to integrate an app which is not written in OpenSocial?

[Dev G <de...@live.com>]

Hello,

 

I am new to Shindig so it may sound stupid question to you.

 

So far I have read that if an app is written in OpenSocial then it can be interfaced with Shindig. 

 

Based on docs, it says - Apache Shindig is a container for hosting social application consisting of four parts:

• Gadget Container JavaScript: 
• Gadget Rendering Server: 
• OpenSocial Container JavaScript: 
• OpenSocial Data Server: 
 
So does it mean if an app does not have the above four parts, I can not integrate it with Shindig?

 

Please reply. I am a newbee here and you all seems to be experts in this.

 

Thanks.

Your app does not require the four parts you describe.  Providing those
four parts is the purpose of Shindig.  Shindig implements the four parts
that you listed.
