This is an example of Backbone.js Mustache.js Jquery wired to Java EE 6 Restful web services.
The backbone portion of this example is based on work by Nick Gauthier & Chris Strom GITHUB: https://github.com/ngauthier/intro-to-backbone-js YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqtYcHyyWJA BOOK: http://recipeswithbackbone.com/
If you are learning backbone or you want to see an example of how easy Java EE 6 makes restful web services than this is a good example. The rest services are handled via JAX-RS, with the jboss resteasy implementation (but you don't have to use jboss).
I deploy this example to Tomcat 7. (See POM)
Dependencies:
UI: Jquery backbone.js underscore.js mustache.js (templating) json2.js
Backend: See pom.xml
