Geronimos,

I've worked on the "Trade" benchmark in the past that has been donated 
to Geronimo and is now known as "DayTrader".   I think it will grow and 
flourish in the open source environment and become a nice showcase for 
Geronimo's performance and capabilities.

I'm  interested in adding a rich, AJAX based Web interface to DayTrader 
for performance research.  DayTrader is a perfect type of application to 
leverage AJAX capabilities.  I will collapse all of the current web 
pages into a single rich page with dynamic and asynchronous updates of 
stock prices, user holdings, buys/sells, etc.

I plan to leverage the DoJo AJAX toolkit which is being pulled into 
Apache MyFaces.  The basic architecture would look like:


browser       <--------   -REST-  ---------->  DayTrader    
<----SOAP---->  DayTrader  <--- Java ---> DayTrader
(dojo libs,                                    proxy 
servlet               Web services             J2EE App
javascript)                                    soap/rest transform

                                               
|----------------------    GERONIMO  -----------------------|

There are several variations to this to pursue for performance comparison.

Any feedback?

Stan.
