I want to understand Aida's internal design. Does anyone have a sort of 30,000 ft view of what happens in the course of multiple HTTP requests internally to preserve state in the components in Aida? I am trying to study all the individual objects in each package but I could benefit from a high-level understanding of what's going on, and how the different pieces relate.

Also I would like to know how (and whether) others are providing web service APIs in Aida. I understand the new 6.5 Aida coming out soon will have more explicit support for REST (which I need, like, yesterday :) ), but maybe some other people have rolled their own support and I'm curious how you did it and what you learned along the way.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Janko,

Is the main Aida site down? I keep getting connection reset errors trying to access it.

The Architecture page with a lot diagrams can probably help you too:

       http://www.aidaweb.si/architecture

I added few more diagrams and I propose  that you look then ask
questions. Answers will then go to that page as well to become more
complete.
