Hi there, I am also still using DBforms. Funny you should mention AJAX because I was just pondering whether I could integrate DBFORMS as an AJAX service or build my own framework based on DBforms using DWR.
The only way I can see to do it using DbForms is execute the DBFORMS JSP page within a wrapper servlet using HttpUnit then parse the result looking for the values to return to the web browser i.e. JSP->DWR servlet->Your servlet->HTTPUNIT->Your servlet->DWR->JSP However this is a hack and it would be better to design a framework from the ground up using DbForms as a starting point.
