Book Description

AJAX enables rich desktop-like user interfaces in the browser and enables interactive interfaces that can even replace traditional user interfaces. DWR (Direct Web Remoting) is an Open Source Java framework for building AJAX applications. DWR’s main idea is to hide AJAX implementation details, like XMLHttpRequest, from developers. By using DWR, you can concentrate on developing the application and business objects and leave AJAX details behind the scenes where they belong. DWR allows server-side Java classes to be used in the browser and JavaScript functions to be used on the server (Reverse AJAX).

This book will show competent Java programmers how to work with DWR to create powerful AJAX applications. It starts with a tutorial on DWR’s main features and functions. Then it covers setting up the development environment. Finally, it concludes with some sample applications.

The later chapters are full of example code for sample applications, to aid comprehension.

What you will learn from this book?

• Will make your development faster and simpler by teaching you the features of DWR and implementing it with Reverse AJAX.
• Teaches you how to use DWR JavaScript libraries, Convertors, Creators, Filters and Signatures. Integration with other projects, and Security – factors which are essential to developing any DWR application. Download Now »

Book Description

The Ajax craze is sweeping the world, and there is no shortage of libraries from which to choose to make it all easier to develop. One of those libraries has risen near the top in the Java space, and that library is DWR. DWR, or Direct Web Remoting, allows you to treat your Java classes running on the server as if they were local objects running in the browser, bringing the full power of your server–side business logic to the client without the usual problems that entails. In this book

• You’ll explore DWR and all it offers.
• You’ll find six full, working applications that use DWR, instead of a lot of theoretical musings.
• You’ll learn by example, more importantly, by doing, as you tear the applications apart, see what makes them tick, and even extend them at your own pace.

In the end, you’ll have a great feel for what DWR offers and how Ajax can bring the world of Web 2.0 to your doorstep, and you’ll have a good time doing it. Download Now »
