## xaajax
A generic HMI for xAAL devices able to handle the dynamicity of xAAL
Following everyone's approche: web technologies, including ajax...


# Architecture
- lighttpd: the frontend
  . Serves static files (html, css, js, ...)
  . Manages one (or many) fastcgi process (start, monitor, kill, restart, ...)
  . Gives dynamic html requests to it
  . Optionnal: https hsts htaccess ...
- xaagent: the backend
  . Acts as the fascgi process for lighttpd, accepts dynamic html requests
  . Reply in json with information about what it learns about xAAL devices
  . Monitors the xAAL bus, store interesting information into a sqlite3 db

Note: The html and javascript parts are static files. The only dynamic part
are answers in the form of json data provided by the xaagent, handeled by
ajax jqueries &co.  (Usable also as RESTful complient gateway?  ;-) )


# Dependencies

# Todo
- Migrate to NoSQL (e.g. Redis, whitedb, etc.), or else with simple lists...
