Just to continue the push towards Dojo, I am about to submit a new
Anonymous Checkout process for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/
OFBIZ-510 which is based upon Dojo. You guys will like it - 3 steps
and working towards my 2 step process goal.
Cheers,
Tim

I used prototype for my initial test and found it very easy to work
with. Dojo on the other hand seemed to have a much broader learning
curve. It too me a while to get everything working, but I think it is
due to the ajax part being more verbose.
The extra features such as DND and other widgets is very nice as well.
The fact that DOJO is available under the BSD license is a plus as
well.
I think there should be no license issues with this library.
Should we just say DOJO is the way to go for future Ajax based
tools in
OFBiz or do we need a formal vote?

Si (& all),
I am in process of doing a lot of custom AJAX stuff for a new
client. I
intended on using prototype.js but based on conversations with other
people decided to go with dojo instead.
The main part of what I did was a JSON wrapper around the service
event
handler. What this does is allows you to define (controller)
requests
for ajax calls and have the results return in a lightweight (JSON)
format.
This will work with any front end toolkit (Yahoo, Prototype,
Dojo, etc).
The main point is to define a standard pattern for AJAX requests in
OFBiz.
Deciding on a toolkit for the javascript is very important and
based on
what I have researched and discussed with other people, Dojo
seems to be
the way to go.
Of course, I am open for discussion with this, but we really should
decide on a standard for contributions back to OFBiz. The last
thing I
want to see is several different ways of communication and different
toolkits being used.
Prototype.js has been removed from SVN for the time being. As
soon as
there is code which uses one of the toolkits it can be added back
in.
Let's start a community vote for the default AJAX toolkit to use in
OFBiz. Based on the work I did, I have already setup the back end
pattern, services using JSON for the return. Now let's decide on
a front
end toolkit.
First lets, define the candidates:
1) Dojo
2) Prototype
