Hi Ejaj,

One approach to this that might work well would be to have an app that
exposes as rest endpoints all or similar functions that the Tuscany
Shell supports at the command line, and then have a presentation layer
over the top of that which provides a pretty web gui. To do those
you'd need to learn about JAX-RS and pick some web framework to write
the presentation layer with. I'm a little nervous that this could be
quite a lot to achieve in the GSoC timeframe though, especially as
you'd be having to start from scratch learning about those things. I
suppose we could treat those as two separate parts, so you
concentrating on the JAX-RS part first and see how that goes. I'm not
sure what the simplest approach to the gui would be, you'd want a web
framework with a very small learning curve so you don't spend to much
time before you can get going, do you or anyone here have any
suggestions or preferences?
