AjaxAnywhere

November 17th, 2007 Arsen Posted in Patterns - Java |

AjaxAnywhere turns any set of existing JSP/JSF/Struts/Spring/etc.. components into AJAX-aware components without JavaScript coding. (Quick Start Demo).

• Does not break existing server-side MVC architecture.
• Less JavaScript to develop and to maintain. Absence of commonly accepted naming convention, formatting rules, patterns makes JavaScript code messier then Java/JSP. It is extremely difficult to debug and unit-test it in multi-browser environment. Get rid of all those complexities by using AjaxAnywhere.
• Easy to integrate. AjaxAnywhere does not require changing the underlying application code.
• Graceful degradation. Switch whenever you need between AJAX and traditional (refresh-all-page) behaviour of your web application. Your application can also support both behaviors.
