“The AJAX Toolkit Framework is a J2EE based technology that assists in constructing Eclipse framework support for AJAX toolkits on Linux and provides enhanced DHTML/Javascript IDE features for AJAX developers. This enables support of DOM browsing and JavaScript debugging by using Mozilla XULrunner to embed the Mozilla browser component (Gecko) in the Eclipse framework.”
Hi,
I am currently reading the book “J2EE” written by Thomas Stark. It is really great, in particular for people like me, who have never been working with J2EE.
I really like, what I have read till now. J2EE seems to be very powerful, but:
The problem is, that it is not possible to overview all these technologies and frameworks with java. So now, we have a new framework again based on J2EE, the AJAX Toolkit Framework. Who should overview all this?
E.g. ASP.NET seems to have a lot fewer frameworks and tools, so it is easier for the developers to understand. Sure, this also has disadvantages, but for people like me, who never used such technologies it is much easier to use.
But I will continue reading my book and maybe I will become more and more familiar with it
Greetings
Mike
Mike, the writeup is misleading. This is just a plugin based off of WTP (which is Eclipse’s web tools framework).
It can be used with J2EE, or any other server framework for that matter. I haven’t downloaded it yet (damn registration), but from the description it appears to just give you a better Javascript and HTML editor. Someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on this. In fact, I don’t think it included an “AJAX” library like Dojo, or Scriptaculous.
Title of this article: “Build Enhanced AJAX Toolkits on Linux”
Correction: I think that resource is for all open-source UNIX operating systems, not just Linux based ones.
