Outline to the Book Structure
In Chapter 1 we introduce the XMLHttpRequest object, which forms
the basis of Ajax. We discuss the XMLHttpRequest properties and
methods and also discuss the procedure to send an Ajax request and
process the Ajax response. The integrated JavaScript Editor in JDeveloper
11g is also discussed.
In Chapter 2 we create an Ajax web application in JDeveloper 11g.We
create an Ajax web application for dynamic form validation using a HTTP
Servlet on the server-side in JDeveloper 11g. The example form used
creates a catalog entry in Oracle database. Thus, the JDBC aspect of an
Ajax application is also discussed. JDeveloper provides built-in support for
JDBC with any database.
Chapter 3 discusses the Prototype JavaScript framework for Ajax.
According to the Ajaxian.com survey Prototype is the most commonly
used Ajax framework and is used by 43% of Ajax developers. Prototype
reduces the JavaScript required in an Ajax application with JavaScript
utility functions. The same Ajax application that is created in Chap. 2 is
created with Prototype in JDeveloper 11g.
In Chapter 4 we create an Ajax application with Java on the server-side
using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) framework for Ajax. We integrate
GWT in JDeveloper 11g by creating a run configuration for GWT Shell
and Compiler. GWT versions 1.3 and later are licensed by Apache 2.0
open source.
In Chapter 5 we discuss Direct Web Remoting (DWR), another open
source Ajax framework for Java.
