You may have a battle with my former co-worker, Coach Wei at Nexaweb, to lay claim to the first "Ajax-like" application. He is widely referred to as an Ajax pioneer. We were doing this in '99-2000 and he was well into it before I got involved. Our initial approach was pretty unique, however. We stripped out the guts of Swing and wrote an XML Platform Look and Feel (PLAF), much like Windows or Motif, following the MVC conventions of Swing. This means that the View of the Swing widgets was in fact an XML string. That XML was sent to an ActiveX conrol at the time, for rendering on the client. The platform was fully capable of handling remote events. When you consider the architecture, it's essentially a Swing application running on the server, handling events from the client.

Hi everyone, I've gotten a number of requests for an article on AjaxParts Taglib, and I finally got around to writing it :) You can check it out here: http://www.omnytex.com/articles If you have never heard of AjaxParts Taglib before, in brief, AjaxParts Taglib, a component of the Java Web Parts Project (http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net), is a taglib that allows for easy, declarative, event-driven AJAX, allowing a developer to add AJAX capabilities to existing or new webapps without the need to write ANY JavaScript at all! This article demonstrates how it works, explains the benefits, and goes into some details about the capabilities it offers out-of-the-box, as well as the ways in which it can be extended to fulfill far more advanced users. Hope it is helpful, and take care! Frank -- Frank W.
