Optimized and predictable Ajax applications

October 30th, 2007 · Comments Off

Wouldn’t it be nice for developers if all browsers, computer models, and Ajax
application users were the same? Maybe, but the reality is that they are not.
Developers face a myriad of challenges when developing applications that behave
predictably across browsers, computers, and individual user settings. When users
transfer Ajax applications from one browser type to another (and especially when they
transfer an Ajax application into a Web service portal), they’re not guaranteed the
same browser experience because of each browser’s inherent limitations. In this article, author Judith Myerson gives a brief discussion of these limitations and what pitfalls to avoid, including some helpful solutions for optimizing browser differences.

Make Ajax development easier with AjaxTags

October 23rd, 2007 · Comments Off

Developers and users have much higher expectations for the usability and
responsiveness of Web-based applications in the Web 2.0 era. Unless you’ve been
living under a rock for the past two years, you’ve likely heard of Asynchronous
JavaScript + XML (the Ajax technique). Ajax allows you to build slick, responsive,
and highly dynamic browser-based user interfaces without requiring browser page
reloads. This article takes a look at AjaxTags, a Java/JavaScript Library that lets you easily integrate Ajax functionality into your JSP pages.

Create a photo album application with Project Zero and REST design principles

October 16th, 2007 · Comments Off

One of the main goals of Project Zero is to simplify the creation of rich
Internet applications (RIAs). The Flickr photo sharing service is an excellent example
of such an application. Designed using REST principles, Asynchronous JavaScript + XML
(Ajax) techniques, and dynamic scripting languages, Flickr provides a service that is not only user friendly, but also scalable and extensible. Because Flickr has many of the qualities that authors of other RIAs are striving for, recreating this type of application with Zero would be an excellent way to validate Zero as an RIA platform. In this article, see how to combine existing Zero components to create a photo sharing service that can support many of the same functions provided by Flickr today. Along the way, you’ll learn more about RESTful design, connecting components via HTTP, and the use of JavaScript to provide a function that isn’t already part of Zero.

Auto-save JSF forms with Ajax: Part 3

October 9th, 2007 · Comments Off

In the first article of this series, author and Java developer Andrei
Cioroianu showed how to submit the user input of a Web form with Asynchronous
JavaScript + XML (Ajax) and how to handle the Ajax requests with JavaServer Faces
(JSF). In the second article of the series, Andrei discussed data management on the
server side and presented a data repository for keeping the auto-saved form data. In this final installment of the three-part series, you’ll find out how to restore the data of a JSF form, which is trickier than you might think. You will learn interesting JSF techniques, such as using the immediate and onclick attributes of JSF components, skipping some of the phases of the JSF request processing life cycle, and using hidden form elements to trigger JSF listeners. You will also learn how to include JSP/JSF expressions within the JavaScript code, how to use JavaScript with the HTML form elements generated by the renderers of the JSF components, and how to implement a servlet context listener for serializing and deserializing application beans.
