Implementation details

For the UI a basic eventbus architecture has been implemented (taking GWT as model) to allow component decoupling.

The components are managed by the Spring framework.

About the container

The application makes use of the new Servlet 3.0 specification, i.e. it does not use web.xml but it is completely managed by annotation. The drawback of this approach is that (currently) it does not run inside the Jetty server (embedded with the GWT environment) so Tomcat should be used for development. The generated Readme.md contains detailed instructions on how to cope with that.
