The first articles in series named Hands-On Java EE 5 with AJAX has just be released on java.sun.com

The first articles in a 6 article series have just been released on java.sun.com. They are made to target developers who are looking at retrofitting a legacy application with AJAX. The later articles introduce JSF components and customizations. It is basically showing how to limit the liability of introducing the latest technologies into an already existing application.


The six article series is named "Hands-On Java EE 5" and currently contains the following articles:

Hi Mark, I'm studying the AJAX and JSF integration, and I read in your article https://blueprints.dev.java.net/bpcatalog/ee5/ajax/phaselistener.html this: "This approach also has its problems, which are as follows: * This approach doesn't handle AJAX calls that modify the component view state. This can cause problems if the AJAX call modifies state that is also maintained in the serialized view state that is reconstituted when a JSF form/action is submitted. There are emerging technologies we are researching that address this problem and will have future entries of the catalog detail our recommendations once they are finalized.." What do you want to say with "modify the component view state", using this way to integrate, I can only modify the values of the components? And I can't put or remove a component from the page? Thanks a lot Diego Marafon Florianopolis - Santa Catarina - Brasil

Mark, Just another question... In the article "Using a Servlet with JavaServer Faces technology and AJAX" you write this: "This approach also has its problems, which are as follows:: - This method could be used for small groups but wouldn't be appropriate for a commercial component library. " I don't understand this...why this way wouldn't be appropriate for a commercial component? I see that some commercial component library use this idea! thanks a lot
