Apache Wookie lets developers deploy various types of Web widgets from a central Java server.
It works mainly with widgets compliant with the W3C Widgets specification, but Open Social extensions and Apache (former Google) Wave gadgets are also supported.
What Wookie does is to open all these configured widgets to external users/queries via a simple REST API, allowing for them to be embedded in remote locations and applications.
Acting like a central hub, Wookie provides developers with a simple tool to manage and launch their applications in the form of a W3C widget, easily making simple or very complex changes to multiple widgets at once, even after the deployment stage.
The widgets can be created in Java, but using simple connectors, you can also deploy widgets created in other programming languages as well.
Widgets and applications like chats, quizzes, browser games, badges, and so on are known to have been successfully hosted and deployed via Wookie.
What is new in this release:
- This version of Wookie is considered mature and stable enough to be known as version 1.0.0, rather than the next intended version (0.16.0). This release contains some minor improvements and bug fixes.
