This is Java, generally I find that it is best to fold it into what you are already doing.
I rolled DWR into mine when I found someone had put a proof of concept up for a upload progress bar. It is really, really cool! It tracks the uploads by making async requests back to the server with your session id and asking the current file handling routines how far along you are and then it updates a simple div on your page. It is very, very effective and I'm very happy with it. But it did highlight a file handle leak in the app somewhere which I have yet to find and fix. It brings the web server down every 2-5 days :-( Richard --- Richard Vowles, Solutions Architect, Borland New Zealand email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: +64-9-9184573 cell: +64-21-467747 other: MSN [EMAIL PROTECTED], skype: rvowles blog: http://www.usergroup.org.nz/blogs/selectBlog.html?id=39769 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Chuah Sent: Tuesday, 30 May 2006 1:05 p.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List Subject: Re: [DUG-Offtopic] RE: [DUG] Scripting languages Take a look at this google AJAX tool then http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neven MacEwan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 1:03 PM Subject: Re: [DUG-Offtopic] RE: [DUG] Scripting languages > Richard > > I never used OO in 4 (inherited the code), But as you say the oo was > pretty limited (so limited in fact that they didn't have a lot to break > when they went to 5), so if you are looking at ror, then have a look at > 5, My next challenge is Ajax, and yes that scares me > > Neven > > Richard Vowles wrote: >> Surely to make OO better they would have to break everything that came >> before?
