I was wondering if it would be at all possible to put wombat on iu's citrix server so that it could be used on say an ipad or other mobil devices. Not really an issue but it would be pretty great.

Posted on Mar 12, 2012 by Helpful ElephantTheoretically, it might be possible. I'm not sure how IUAnyWhere actually works, but there are basically two possibilities:
If the code is run on a remote server and only the interface is sent to your iPad or other mobile device this should work. I'm not sure how it would work with saving/loading local files or using the image library, but it shouldn't be hard to get at least some functionality.
If the code is deployed from IUAnyWhere and needs to run on the local device, it won't work (as in I can't work around it if I wanted to) at least on iPads, as Wombat is written in Java which cannot be directly deployed to iPads. Tablets based on Android on the other hand might be possible to support as they run natively with Java, although I've never actually considered trying it.
In summary: It's a neat idea and I'll definitely look into it, but don't hold you breath in the short term.
