Widget sets can describe entire windows or dialogs, but they are also useful for smaller parts of the UI, e.g. parts of forms, context or dropdown menus, contents of tabbedPanes, etc. Besides the pure definition of the UI, however, the manipulation of the widgets during use is also part of everyday life. This is how data is inserted, the status of widgets is changed and new elements are displayed. https://sillysky.net/description-of-remoteskin/distributed/ Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://sillysky.net/description-of-remoteskin/distributed/ With nyssr.net parts of the application can be freely distributed over the network. A single node can host very many microservices. You don't need a separate application for each independent microservice, as with Spring Boot, for example. There is also no need for a web server for each service, or a container, or additionally a load balancer, if several instances of a service are to be used. Therefore, nyssr.net microservices can be smaller than with REST. https://sillysky.net/description-of-remoteskin/serverbased-swing/ Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://sillysky.net/description-of-remoteskin/serverbased-swing/ RemoteSkin is an extension of nyssr.net. It is used to create distributed, server-side programs that provide a UI using a client-side renderer. The first interpretation of this technique uses Java Swing as a renderer. Server-based programs From the look and feel the programs behave like normal local Swing programs. However, the business logic is server-side. This, of course, gives advantages in distribution, since programs on the server can receive updates as often as desired without having to change the software on the client.
