AJAX: Selecting the Framework that Fits

By dgirard on Monday 7 May 2007, 07:15 - GWT Article

Andrew Turner and Chao Wang

GWT is a Java-based AJAX framework that lets you write front-end UI components using Java, then use the GWT compiler to convert them into HTML and JavaScript files. GWT's programming model also didn't fit well with our development environment because our team was split between UI developers and back-end Java developers. Also, the generated HTML/JavaScript code would be difficult to change if we had browser issues. Finally, building the application with GWT required us to learn new Java APIs—not good, considering our time and budget constraints.

Book : "Ajax on Java"

By dgirard on Thursday 1 March 2007, 08:23 - GWT Book

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
