I've started a WOGWT <http://code.google.com/p/wogwt/> project to integrate
GWT (Google Web Toolkit) with WebObjects.  It's still very young, but if you
are interested in getting AJAXy behavior and hate Javascript, then this is
for you.

GWT <http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/> is basically a Java-to-Javascript
compiler.  You write Java code and it spits out some static javascript
files.  So you get all the benefits of developing in Java, like compile-time
checking, code completion, refactoring, and even potential code reuse.

You can use GWT as little or as much as you want.  You can just do the
simple kinds of the things people have been doing with Javascript forever,
like Alert, form validation, and hiding and showing elements.  Or you can do
a lot more, like implement your entire UI in Swing-like UI code, send ajax
http requests, transfer EOs to and from the server, etc.

FYI, WOGWT requires WO 5.4 and a recent version of Project Wonder.

I would welcome any feedback or code contributions.  Please play with it and
see what you think!

John

P.S. If anyone is willing to host the Demo application for me, that would be
awesome
