Related to #6 - further down the road, a goal would be to align the look-and-feel and demos in Pyserini/Anserini. That is, they'll have the same HTML rendering/styling... but one would be in Java, other in Python.

@16BitNarwhal @chloeqxq now that you've experimented with Vaadin sufficiently to form some opinions about it... let's take a step back and evaluate our design choices...

Some more digging around I found:

Critique: https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/ykgcnq/why_is_vaadins_adoption_small/
Alternative = react.js with Java backend: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rachid-goujdad_developing-a-react-app-with-a-java-backend-activity-7120033542654279680-Tg_Q/

Java EE vs. Spring: https://anywhere.epam.com/en/blog/spring-vs-java-ee
old but maybe still useful? https://github.com/amagge/lucene-services

From https://vaadin.com/docs/latest/tutorial/overview - Web Applications with Spring Boot & Vaadin Seems like with the suggested combination, Vaadin can be swapped for, say, react.

16BitNarwhal commented 6 months ago

Will use Spring Boot backend and React frontend to start a site that allows searching through a prebuilt index using SimpleSearcher. The run command will look something like java -cp anserini-0.24.2-fatjar.jar io.anserini.demo.Miracl

Aiming to complete by March 30th

This has been merged in https://github.com/castorini/anserini/pull/2425 - thanks @16BitNarwhal @chloeqxq !

Much more to do, but closing this specific issue.
