Apaf should provide a built-in browser functionality that, after application startup, open a window-less browser UI to the APAF web application management interface.
This functionality maybe provided trough an existing platform support.
The embedded browser UI would provide to the end-user the look and feel of a native UI application, by providing directly access to the localhost available Apaf application.
The embedded browser technology to be used, should, whenever possible, use the platform's support, for example:
This must work with MS IE component with no additional dependency
It must work on IE6/IE7/IE8/IE9/IE10.
Such embedded browser should guarantee that:
communication only authorized/defined hosts, by default only localhost.
no logging policy is enforced
no caching policy is enforced
it just act as UI for apaf application.
By following this approach the design of APAF application will be just done as a standard web applications, without the need for the developer to learn "desktop specific" UI languages.
