[orion-dev] Orion editor with server-side parser ?

[Remi Vankeisbelck <VANKEISB@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We'd like to use Orion in order to support
a custom language of ours. We already have a parser, completion engine
etc. for this language. In fact, we even already have a JS editor, but
it's based on content-editable div and has limitations. Therefore, we are
looking at alternative "web-based text editors" that we could
plug our services into, and let it handle all the dirty GUI business...
Orion looks quite nice, and we're IBM as well, so we'd like to try it first.

Our "problem" is that our
parser etc is written in Java, and runs in a server back-end. We have a
protocol that allows our client-side editor to interact with the server
: basically parse the text and send back highlighting infos, error markers,
or completion proposals.

Does Orion support this kind of async,
server-managed custom languages ? 

I've googled a bit and seen in the doc
that a grammar can be passed, or that the proposals could be customized.
Can all this be done asynchronously, by communicating with a server ?

Thanks for any info.

Cheers

Rémi
