JIRA Issue: KIEKER-1110 Migration of Kieker's WebGUI to GWT/Vaadin Original Reporter: Nils Christian Ehmke

---

Brief explanation:

Kieker's WebGUI is a multi user web solution which has been developed to assemble, control, and observe Kieker analysis networks.

The web application is based on JavaEE, JSF and the component library Primefaces. However, we consider to replace JSF and Primefaces with a more suitable framework like GWT or the GWT-based Vaadin project. The goal of this project would therefore be the migration of Kieker's WebGUI.

Expected results:

After the successful completion of this project, the WebGUI is based on GWT/Vaadin, has the same functionality and a similar UI as before.

Knowledge prerequisite:

The student working on this topic should

• be a practiced Java/JavaEE developer
• have experience with GWT and/or Vaadin
• experience with GWT and Vaadin can also be gained during this project

Skill level:

• medium to high

Additional documentation:

• Web Frameworks
