As a Java developer, you want a guide that shows you how
to add Ajax functionality to your web applications with a
minimum of effort. Well look no further than Pro Ajax and
Java. In this book, recognized Java experts and authors
of the best-selling Apress title, Foundations of Ajax,
will show you how. The authors begin by recapping Ajax
basics. Then they unveil a comprehensive Java/Ajax
toolkit. Tools include JSEclipse for code editing,
Venkman for JavaScript debugging, and Dojo Compressor for
code compression. They also explain Log4js (and other
tools) for JavaScript logging, JsUnit (and others) for
testing, and various libraries like AjaxTags, DWR, and
Script.aculo.us for rapid code development. The last part
of the book shows you how to build up a series of
professional Java/Ajax applications. These will
incorporate some of today's most popular frameworks--
Spring, JSF, Struts, and Tapestry--giving you all you
need to incorporate Ajax into your everyday work and
become an Ajax expert!
