Asynchronous JavaScript with XML(Ajax) is emerging as a hot
technology. So how do you design and build a Java EE application that
leverages Ajax? The Java BluePrints is helping to determine the
programming model for Ajax and Java EE.
The Java BluePrints program released an early access Java Pet Store
2.0 Reference Application. This application is designed to illustrate
how the Java EE 5 Platform can be used to design and develop an Ajax-enabled Web
2.0 application. The application comes with full source-code available under a
BSD-style license, so you can experiment with it and use it in your own
applications.
We have two JavaServer Faces component libraries. One set has some components
based on JSF 1.2 and can be used on a Java EE 5 application server like
GlassFish. The other set has some components based on JSF 1.1 and can run on
J2EE 1.4 compatible application servers, like the Sun
Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2. Try them out in your own web
applications. Add a progress bar into your web application. Or build a Google
maps mash-up. Or try out the Ajax FileUpload which is based on the DOJO toolkit.

Using
Ajax with JSF, Using
a Servlet as a Controller with JSF and Ajax, plus many more...
All you need to do is open the
Petstore as a project in NetBeans then build and deploy it. Or if you think of a
feature you would like to add to the Pet Store code, use NetBeans Java EE 5
features and make a better Java Pet Store.
This catalog covers key issues and solutions for common
problems when designing and building an Ajax application on the Java EE platform. For each problem topic it provides various
strategies, patterns, and design guidelines for the solution. The
catalog includes design documents, many small applications, several JSF
and Ajax components, as well as source code. An early access version of
Ajax solutions including two new Ajax JSF components is now available
for download.
This set of components work with the Glassfish
Java EE 5 application server.
This FAQ
provides anwsers to many common Ajax questions.
Contains a set of documents, code, and applications which
cover some problems and solutions for using Ajax in a J2EE 1.4
application. You can download
it (code and solution documents) and run it on a J2EE 1.4
application server, or you can view the
solutions document online to see if you are interested in downloading.
You might already have the solutions catalog which is
embedded as a feature in NetBeans.
You can use the catalog and open up the Ajax applications as NetBeans
projects. You can either download NetBeans and try out the Ajax
BluePrints, or if you already have NetBeans installed then just go to
the help menu and choose the "BluePrints Solutions Catalog".
If you are new to Ajax you can learn the basics from Asynchronous
JavaScript Technology and XML (Ajax) With Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition.
