the whole reason I came to ofbiz is not covered in jquery.
what would it take to replace ofbiz framework with jquery.
BTw i don't use JS at all I read the page data as you see it n view
source and parse that into the client I use for clients.

I have been moving as much as I can from java classes to minilanq to
get ready for a total redesign, by replacing the java classes with
Pascal.
this puts the actually program at machine code level so has to be
compiled for the processor it runs on.
The real headache will be replacing all the libraries used in ofbiz.
the minilang relies on calling the "helper" classes and libraries
more than it does now.
if you put stuff in JavaScript there is no continuity between browser
implementations, so can not designed anything.
jQuery hides those problems, not sure it's 100% reliable though...
Jacques
At lib level you are right, for instance I had to add in fieldlookup.js :/
if(typeof String.prototype.trim !== 'function') { // Needed because IE8
does not implement trim yet
String.prototype.trim = function() {
return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''); }
}
Jacques
Plus then you put the processing on the client, you are taking away
from the power of client to run other process.
I am running into this in FF with 30 browser windows, that average 5
tabs open.
with all the activity the sites have they use about 35-50% cpu time.

Just kidding in the subject. But I think it is an interesting
discussion.
Wouldn't Groovy require a licensed Java runtime and therefore not
qualify as a replacement for Java?
I am thinking that because more and more sites will be doing mashups
of data from different source sites (and for other reasons, like
HTML5), that more work will be drawn in from server apps to client
apps (ie. javascript) and the interactions with the server will be
more of the simpler RESTful type. If that is the case, there would be
some incentive to use the same language on the server as on the client
(ie. javascript). I think that is why you are seeing more
javascript-based servers and frameworks cropping up which are
initially designed to handle the RESTful transactions. The new
javascript engines solve the speed problem and the single-threaded
problem is being solved other ways.

Sorry to underestand in place of David,
Groovy, I guess since David is using it heavily in Moqui
I like Scala too (like js it's Object Oriented and Functional also

I must say I don't much about it yet http://www.scala-lang.org/

Ok David, I'll bite; I would like to know what alternatives to Java
you think are worth considering. Is Javascript one of them (my pick)?

Back to being serious: thank goodness technology has progressed far

I don't know what you mean by "Java goes commercial", IMO Java is
already
commercial and efforts to move it toward being more
open have been problematic. Either way, if Java is compromised it
will
only open the way for something newer and better to come
along, and frankly there are already various decent alternatives.

with rom
packs for applications. finally cpm with c code so could expand.
small c then pascal, then C#.
then a got a 5 1/4 drive with i86 board that mounted on it and got
compiled cpm for it. I really wanted an Apple. Closest I got
was an amiga. got Dos to work then windows 1.3
worked for a lot of early computer manufactures including apple and
commodore.
still have pascal with the source code, so if and when Java goes
commercial, I will revert all code to pascal and Ai.

That's why I still use DOS. You can learn everything there is
to know
about it in a few weeks, and I got that out of the way
nearly two decades ago. I'm a happy camper.
