Hi all
I just read this post,
having worked quite a bit with ajax ,
it can get a bit chaotic if a choice has to be made amongst all available
scripts and ajax base codes.
They have great features but the hard part can be making the choice (
openrico.org or http://www.zkoss.org/ are also interesting )
But ajax being so simple to set up, it would be simplest to set up ofbiz's
own ajax.js.
After that Ajax calls work perfectly with ofbiz's REST url's, screen widget
.
example of where ajax came in handy for us :
- retreiving event or error messages from session attributes as asynchronous
services were launched.
- autocompletion
- databse updates
my two cents
Regards
Tibor

Prototype. This will be explained in the document. :)
It might be a good exercise to attempt the same feature in other
frameworks.
I've already tried with Dojo and some others, of which the impression are
explained in the tutorial.
