Combine java and Ajax

In the world of programming, Ajax has brought about an exciting period of rejuvenation of the development of super-generation websites. However, when creating Web services, it also poses a threat to expressing the establishment of a new "political separation" between experts and application developers.

The goal of a service-oriented architecture is to create services that are more than generations oriented to user services. Such separation in many business innovations may cause a loss. To break through the gap before it was formed, ClearNova has now released a new fast application development (RAD) platform, it uses an open-source framework that combines J2EE [Java 2 Enterprise Edition (Java2 Enterprise Edition)] with Ajax.

This platform is called ThinkCap JX. It will allow Java programmers to modify the user interface on the server without having to understand all the details of Ajax (Ajax is short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XNL, this is because there is a customer-centric application interface on the server. Similarly, RAD automatically generates Java stubs for JavaScript programming completed on the client.

"Ajax and Java have more connections than you think, Because Java is a language used by many Web applications and services, "Steve Benfield, vice president of strategy at ClearNova, said. "Although Ajax is based on browser technology, you will be in the call server status more than you think ."

The flexibility of integration and coordination is one of the key conditions required by SOA. When you modify a service, the Web service must accept the modification and quickly modify it to obtain a user-available service.

The reason for making Ajax so powerful is that it uses browser technology to create dynamic Web pages, instead of refreshing the pages every time you are clicked by the mouse. However, JavaScript programming skills make it difficult for Java developers to master dynamic representation.

"The problem is, do you want to become an authoritarian JavaScrip programmer or a Java developer who only has access to some JavaScrip ?" Benfield raised a question.

One day after Microsoft released the trial version of Atlas, ClearNova also released their RAD, A Ajax implementation tool for ASP. NET. Richard Monson-Haefel, analyst at the Burton Group, said he believes that the IT industry is about to see a wave of Ajax development tools, because the technology itself has rich user experience.

"Ajax is playing an increasingly important role in how we interact with Web services," he said. "Ajax is fundamentally changing the way we use the Web, and developers have to make the appropriate changes to balance this change ."

Benfield expects that in the next two years, there will be a rapid change in expression to force the formation of an integrated loosely coupled development environment.
