I have been away from my office for the last 10 days! We had
a Thanksgiving break last week. Even though the holiday is only on
Thursday and Friday, the kids have time off from school. I take the
time off from work to attend parent-teacher conferences, well care
visits to the doctor and other such activities on Monday - Wednesday. I
woke up this Monday (11/27) feeling quite unwell. I visited the doctors
and they suspect viral
gastroenteritis. I am, therefore, working from home on a diet
of Gatorade and buttermilk.
But I digress ...
Do you want to introduce AJAX into your legacy application? There are
several ways to do it. There is a series of five
articles named "Hands-On
Java EE 5" that will help you learn to do that and more. The
series contains the following articles:
AJAX
Design Strategies
The article "AJAX
Design Strategies"
talks about different
design strategies on implementing AJAX functionality.
Creating
an Ajax-Enabled Application,
a Component Approach
The article Creating
an Ajax-Enabled Application, a Component Approach, talks
about an
implementation where you create a custom JSF component to generate the
JavaScript that executes the Ajax interactions on the client side. The
JSF component is packaged with the application bundle and accessed
directly. A Java Servlet on the server side responds to the Ajax
request.
Creating
an Ajax-Enabled Application,
a Phase Listener Approach The article Creating
an Ajax-Enabled Application, a Phase Listener Approach, talks
about an implementation where you expand the
JavaServer Faces approach to
include a phase listener component on the server that fufills the
client component's resource requirements.

Prakash, I hope you feel better soon. I believe I've had that gastoenteritis thing in the past and it's no fun.
On the topic of Java/AJAX, any news if NetBeans will be providing JRuby support anytime soon?

Thanks for your wishes. As I am sure you know Sun hired the "JRuby guys" Charles Nutter and Thomas Enebo. This will allow Sun to support multiple languages on the JVM. NetBeans is already down the path of supporting languages other than Java. This support will also benefit JRuby. There certainly will be a lot of cross pollination going forward.
