Over the past 3 weeks here in the labs of American Coders we've been working on an AJAX application used in conjunction with our OBOE package for a proof of concept project.
AJAX or Asynchronous JavaScript Technology and XML is the "buzzword du jour." AJAX is an architecture that allows a client HTML process to interact with a server's servlet seamlessly. Using a combination of Javascript and XML data structures an AJAX-based HTML page provides for a lot more functionality to the page but without requiring the user to work with it. Primarily the sampler, at http://americancoders.com/oboeajax.html , provides a data entry HTML page for four X12 transaction: 601 - based on the US Gov. AES spec. 834 - based on the HIPAA spec 837P - again based on the HIPPA spec. 997 - real bad choice for a data entry but it's nice and small. by pressing the Next button, you will be taken through a series of pages. If a segment repeats the page will be refreshed. If a segment is mandatory the HTML page will require data to be entered. Upon completing the steps the last page will show the completed X12 transaction sans the envelope and functional group segments. The 834 and 837 are built with a minimal amount of definition, after all this work was for a proving project so we attempted to keep things small. There is some data validation on the client side and the server, though mostly on the client. A lot of base field editing, some intra-segment field checks and some cross segment edits.
