Can we intergrate an OpenLaszlo front end to a Django back end ?

I am a medical professional not a developer.. so go easy guys.. :)

I am trying to build a EMR (Electronic Medical Record) with Django. In fa开发者_StackOverflowct I am already well into the project. I have done reasonable AJAX and jQuery integration with it.

I was trying to improve the front end and came across OpenLaszlo as a Open Source RIA solution. I was wondering if it was possible to integrate it to a Django or Python backend.

I could not find any references for this kind of integration on the internet.

There are some brief references to such an integration with Flex front end and PyAMF.

If yes I would be thankful if you can give some step by step advice.

Thanks in advance

It is possible to have an OpenLaszlo server feed information to/from another django server. See Chapter 1: OpenLaszlo Architecture. This would require you to develop a soap, rest, or some other api access on your django site, in addition to developing a OpenLaszlo application.

Have you spent the time to document the flaws with the current UI? Have you sat potential users in front of the current implementation to get feedback? My recommendation is to not "fix" something until you can identify that there is a problem.

The OpenLaszlo platform supports communicating with any server that can receive HTTP POSTS (aka REST) from OpenLaszlo datasets and return an XML response.

If your server meets those requirements then yes, you can use OpenLaszlo to create an OpenLaszlo front-end to communicate with your server back-end.
