If im reading the documents right, the federation system is the transport system between two wave servers. in laymans terms, its waves version of SMTP, basically where google tried replacing email servers. that part i have no interest in (at this time), maybe in the future i will want the ability to move a wavelet between my cloud and a clients local cloud but thats so far down the road, its not worth looking at right now.
no, what im talking about is the push pull event bus between the UI and the server. The event bus that allows save on key stroke, reaplay (when rebuilt) and concurrent editing of documents, concurrent group collaboration between people in concurrent editing of documents, etc. Is the heart of that system build outside of GWT and GWT simply accesses it or does that part of the system live entirely in GWT. Its a distinction that makes a big difference in what im doing and im still trying to figure out which way is up on this thing. thanks On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 8:35 AM, Yuri Z <vega...@gmail.com> wrote: > If you refer to the Wave Federation Protocol, then yes it is implemented as > part of the server.
