Cooperative Ajax

Some Discussion Points

Toolkit Oriented

• Script-based APIs– Most popular being Dojo

• Toolkits with server-side counterparts– Script based APIs/frameworks – some generate script on

demand– Sometimes own the entry point on the server side (GWT, DWR

etc.)• Component toolkits

– JSF (e.g. ICEFaces), ASP.NET (Atlas) etc– These are gaining popularity among developers

• Key points– Provide/own the programming model– Need to facilitate running these components in portlets– Developers looking for better support

Consumer Supplied API Sets

• Possible feautres (Rich)– Async communication– Shared data area– Preferences – User information– Event broker– State management– Miscellaneous

• Investigate other standard efforts (Subbu)– DOM events, selectors, HTML5 etc
