Using jMaki in a Visual Development Environment
TS-9516


Presenter: Ludovic Champenois, Sun Microsystems, Inc.; Craig McClanahan, Sun Microsystems, Inc.; Gregory Murray, Sun Microsystems, Inc.


Over the last year, Greg Murray's jMaki projecthas gotten increasing attention, because of its elegant solution to the hardest problems in using Ajax--an interface common to many of the popular client-side JavaScript technology widget libraries that have become available. However, the provided interface still requires application developers to have a significant understanding of client-side issues such as JavaScript technology events and data transport formats such as JSON.

This session describes an approach that can be used to leverage the advanced client-side capabilities that jMaki provides while providing a more productive development experience, especially for developers who are not particularly advanced in terms of client-side technologies. The fundamental technology it provides is wrapping jMaki capabilities in JavaServer Faces components at two levels (a single powerful, generic component and an individual component per widget), plus integration of these components into an integrated development environment (the NetBeans 5.5 IDE), both in a traditional way and with drag-and-drop editing support with the Visual Web Pack plug-in.
