DWR Makes Interportlet Messaging With AJAX Easy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hiding-it-all-away dept.

An anonymous reader writes "You can use the sample code in this article as a starting point for developing your own applications; the code also shows how DWR extends the Java programming model to Web browsers. With DWR, it's almost as if JavaBeans were available in the browser. DWR simplifies your work by hiding almost all the details of Ajax and allows you to concentrate on the task at hand instead of the nuts and bolts of Ajax development."

    It's you.

    Basically, AJAX is a website that uses HTTPRequest.
    The XML, HTML, DHTML, JavaScript and DOM are just logical extensions of that premise. Similarly you could say AJAX also uses TCP/IP and HTTP. Though, likewise, it says nothing.

    "'...allows you to concentrate on the task at hand instead of the nuts and bolts of Ajax development.'"

    Last time I checked the "nuts and bolts" of AJAX was only a few dozen lines of code... all it is is sending a server request in the background.
