I have actually been taking apart the Mach-II + ajaxCFC demo, and have come to the conclusion that I just don't get ajaxCFC. Ajax in my understanding is supposed to be client-side JavaScript making asynchronous calls to the backend server. So with this, where do CFCs come into play? Ajax frameworks like Prototype and Dojo just make a lot more sense to me.
I can see how everything works in terms of the general Ajax back and forth traffic once the UI is displayed. The thing I am questioning is how to display the initial UI when using a framework like Mach-II or Model-Glue.
