Now that <a href="http://weblog.flop.ca/2007/04/28/1177793787559.html">DWR works beautifully with JPublish</a>, I would like to add some Ajax UI support to JPublish to be used in the Views, something like the old <a href="http://ajaxtags.sourceforge.net/">AjaxTags</a>, not via any taglibs definitely, but a streamlined AJAX support for our Velocity or Freemarker templates. This is where Rails excels again :(<br /> <br /> I browsed again the web for finding some Ajax macros for Velocity or Freemarker (JPublish's favorite template managers) but nothing so far.<br /> <br /> And then I found something very cool: <a href="https://ajax.dev.java.net/getstarted.html">JMaki</a>. There is a demo showing JMaki and DWR working together and I am almost convinced, but I'll have to write some more integration tests and only after that I'll try to see how JMaki can be integrated with JPublish; I'll let you know how it goes.<br /> <br /> If you're a <a href="https://glassfish.dev.java.net/">Glassfish</a> user, then find some time to spend and play with JMaki; JMaki is very nice.</p> I'll keep you tuned.<br /> -florin Java http://weblog.flop.ca/2007/06/05/1181091269398.html#comments http://weblog.flop.ca/2007/06/05/1181091269398.html Wed, 06 Jun 2007 00:54:29 GMT
