What is?
Presentation Manager is a module of the jPOS engine that intends to solve the whole visualization thing in an easy, flexible, scalable way.
Why?
When a new transaction project begin, it often comes with a business model associated. Of course, you need some way to administrate this model (add, edit, list, and so on) and to monitoring the server status. But... hey! its a transactional server, i must concentrate my job in develop my transactions, not in the visualization. But, without visualization, its hard to administrate things and the client usually likes to "see" something.
That's the idea beyond PM. With this module you can run an integrated web server and, with a little configuration, you have a running, cute and customized administrative site with some basic operations and you can integrate some of the main entities of your modules with some minimal operations and voilà, there you are, with a simple configuration you have something "visual" to show to your client and you can happily start the transactional develop.
Briefly, the main goal is to provide an easy tool to get started in the administrative interface fast and to give developers a lot of tools to make it extensible, so it can be continuously enhanced without interfering in the transactional develop.
When?
As soon as a decent version comes to life. I hope pretty soon.
