Smackdown for Ajax Programming Models and Frameworks
TS-2991

With the emergence of Asynchronous JavaScript Technology and XML (Ajax) applications, many alternative strategies for designing and building Ajax-enabled Java technology-based applications are emerging. Competing frameworks, tools, and products are popping up all the time. Some of the strategies include:

• Developing a set of JavaServer Faces components that are Ajax-enabled, and even within that camp there are alternative design centers.
• Creating an RMI-like Java library to use a Java object-centric programming model for the client, as with Direct Web Remoting (DWR).
• Using a JavaScript technology-based library (such as Dojo) for all the client and using Java technology just for the servlet and model and back-end tiers.
• Using Java technology-based applets or Java Web Start bassed applications and extending the notion of Ajax.
• Using Adobe Flex with Flash backed by Java Enterprise Edition.
