I am exploring OpenUI5 to use it as front end for developing SAP applications. One thing I noticed is that it is more user friendly with OData services/OData model. I believe, it may be a close initiative of Microsoft with SAP or vice-versa.
I am using Java technology along with JCo outside SAP environment. I am exploring for the best options.
Should I expose my Java services as OData services to leverage OpenUI5 capabilities?
1 I see that Java implementations for OData support is limited to Version 2 and Version 4 is underway. This community is very small, not surprisingly.
Should I limit the usage of OpenUI5 only for: application definitions, view definitions, layouts, etc. and use Java services (e.g. REST/SOAP)?
1 Here, I have to add my JavaScript/jQuery logic for the CRUD operations on UI controls. I am not sure how much of it is supported for plain JSON/XML objects if I push JSON/XML response from server.
