merging Cesium and the Ozone Widget Framework

I am a fresh college graduate and at my new job I have been tasked with the job of merging two different applications. The applications are Cesium (a web-based service written in JavaScript, HTML and CSS) and the Ozone Widget Framework ( Written in JAVA). This seems like a fairly complex task to start out with. How would I go about doing this? or learning how to merge such technologies?

Advice/help is greatly appreciated!

I have experience with both OWF and Cesium. OWF is particularly difficult, for the reasons mentioned here. Unless you're working in a community that does a lot with OWF, you're not going to get a lot of help.

Most likely the approach that will yield you the best results in a sane amount of time will be to create your own OWF widget (which can be just a page, like any other, that is imported through the admin tool or made available in a app/widget store). You could then use OZONE Synapse (ugh) to integrate with other widgets in OWF.

Cesium is a pretty darn good tool. I'm not really a fan of OWF for a number of reasons. If you can dissuade your employer from using it, that may be worthwhile. If it's a direct client requirement, then you'll probably want to see if you can join OWF specific developer communities.

There seems to be very little documentation in the Ozone Widget Framework. In fact, a search for it has only yielded 6 results in Stack Overflow.

The OWF website says it already supports Cesium:

A fully functional map widget that is designed to be extensible by other programs for their particular needs, and currently provides Google Earth, OpenLayers, Cesium and WorldWind renderers

I work on Cesium, but have never used OWF so I can't speak to the details.

There is also a Cesium plugin that provides GWT wrappers for Java developers that may be of interest to you.
