As I mentioned previously, I currently have the dojo interface module and web services proxy module in individual wars packaged in a separate ear. Do we want to keep this deployment model?
Or would it make more sense to package the wars directly in the trade ear?
Thoughts or opinions?
Thanks...

Hi Chris,
The new Daytrader AJAX interface is much richer and user friendly than
the WEB1.0. I love it.
Very nice job!
I tested it with both Firefox and IE. Impressively enough, it worked
like a charm, even with IE.
The only little glitch I noticed was the time, it took to load the
Dojo libraries into the browser when you first invoke the application.
On my system it took about 10 sec.
However, I did see a "loading…" alert during that time so I assume, it is ok.
But it would be nice if we can find some way to reduce the "loading…" time.
