Book : "Ajax on Java"

Ajax On Java :

This practical guide shows you how to make your Java web applications more responsive and dynamic by incorporating new Ajaxian features, including suggestion lists, drag-and-drop, and more. Java developers can choose between many different ways of incorporating Ajax, from building JavaScript into your applications "by hand" to using the new Google Web Toolkit (GWT).
The book branches out into different approaches for incorporating Ajax, which include:

  • The Prototype and script.aculo.us Javascript libraries, the Dojo and Rico libraries, and DWR

  • Integrating Ajax into Java ServerPages (JSP) applications

  • Using Ajax with Struts

  • Integrating Ajax into Java ServerFaces (JSF) applications

  • Using Google's GWT, which offers a pure Java approach to developing web applications: your client-side components are written in Java, and compiled into HTML and JavaScript

Javascript is still the king ?

Stevey :

JavaScript is probably the most important language in the world today. Funny, huh? You'd think it would be Java or C++ or something. But I think it just might be JavaScript.
...
The GWT is one, of course, but you'd have to be a pretty doggurn die-hard Java programmer to go that way. I'm sure it'll improve with time, but the biggest stumbling block, amusingly enough, is that it's not JavaScript. JavaScript is still King in the browser space, and ironically it's like programming to the "bare metal" compared to using a Java-to-JavaScript compiler. So JavaScript what the "real" web programmers prefer to use.

Will GWT kill JSF ?

Jay Chauhan : "I recently took a deep look into GWT and I say this is phenomenal. Also, I did exploration of JSF. This group has a lot of discussion about fusing JSF and GWT and at first this sounds a good idea, however, the question yet to be answered is why would you like to fuse GWT with JSF?? "
Interesting.

I'm worried for the future of JSF
