Ajax on Java - Steven Douglas Olson

This manual is a practical guide for Java developers looking to enhance their web applications with Ajaxian features. It covers various ways of incorporating Ajax, from manual JavaScript integration to using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). The book begins with an introduction to Ajax, demonstrating how to create basic applications that utilize client-side JavaScript to request information from a Java servlet without reloading the entire page. It also explores different communication strategies between the client and server, such as sending raw data, XML, or JSON for complex data collections.

The manual delves into different approaches for integrating Ajax, including utilizing JavaScript libraries like Prototype, script.aculo.us, Dojo, Rico, and DWR, integrating Ajax into Java ServerPages (JSP) applications, using Ajax with Struts, integrating Ajax into Java ServerFaces (JSF) applications, and leveraging Google's GWT for a pure Java approach to web application development.

Ajax empowers web developers to create more interactive, dynamic, and engaging applications. Whether you are a professional Java developer or a DIY enthusiast, this manual is essential for getting started with Ajax and enhancing user experience.
