Abstract

Highly interactive web applications that offer a lot of functionality are increasingly replacing their desktop counterparts. However, the browser and the web itself were originally designed for viewing and exchanging documents and data and not for running applications. Over the years, web pages have slowly been transformed into web applications and as a result, they have been forcefully fit into an unnatural mold for them. In this paper we present a pattern for implementing web applications in a way that completes this transition and creates a more natural environment for web applications to live in. In the pattern, the full MVC stack is implemented in the client while the server is completely decoupled via a RESTful interface. We also present experiences in building an industrial-scale application utilizing this pattern.
