You mean as in this paragraph? :-

"
Both take advantage of miniGL and we are currently working in the user
interface where we have some good news too, we have now the jPOS
Presentation Manager (I’ll talk about it soon - think dynamic
scaffolding to provide CRUDL support for most commonly managed entities).
"

I'm sure Alejandro can add some details, but from that I would think it
might be work in progress; at least until another announcement is made.

In the jPOS applications that I'm usually involved, we have to maintain
several dozen entities (configurations, terminals, merchants, branches,
issuers, acquirers, cards, accounts, cardholders, fees, you name it).

The goal of the presentation manager is to dynamically and consistently
create administration pages (create/remove/update/delete/list/search
with audit support) for say 80% of the less used entities, so we can
have extra free time to manually work on the more often used 20%.

Here is a screencast of an early version (http://jpos.org/private/pm.swf
- please forgive my pathetic English).

Actually it's a lot of work and a lot of fun in progress.

One of our PEP members from Argentina took our initial version and
modified it to fit their needs for their jCard-based airtime top-up
application. Their lead developer is now working in a rewrite of of
their add-ons for his master thesis. He'll eventually release it as
a jPOS module.

In the meantime, I worked on a YUI based rewrite (instead of jQuery),
but then I moved to GWT and that's what I'm doing now, getting myself
up to speed with GWT.

So we'll probably have two versions of the PM, a JSP+Struts version
(being written by Jeronimo the man, not the JEE container -
http://tinyurl.com/jposfaces) and a GWT version, hopefully reading the
same (or a very simliar) PM XML entity meta-data.

If you can wait, a declarative UI is on the GWT road map. Just fyi.

That's good to know, but I won't resist the fun of doing something now.

Thanks Alejandro,

is jCard also a monitoring system? Monitor Station whether a
independent system or part of jPTS?

I'm planning using GWT and SmartGWT + Spring. Still looking for a good
web framework.
Any suggestion from your experience?

I'm a big fan of JPublish.
