It isn't really an API as such, it is more of a technique. There is a thin wrapper around XMLHttpRequest (http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/website/auth/trunk/AuthWebapp/web/javascript/Ajax.js) which is used to make the Ajax requests in the browser, and the framework I'm using (Stripes) vectors the AJAX requests onto the appropriate methods in the server code, e.g. http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/website/auth/trunk/AuthWebapp/src/java/org/opensolaris/auth/webapp/admin/UserCollectivesAction.java#98 The server methods then query the database to obtain a collection of Java objects representing the records of interest, and these are converted by the Stripes framework into the corresponding JavaScript which is returned to the browser and evaluated. External applications won't be allowed to access the database directly, but there will be an XMLRPC interface which will allow you to obtain the information you require. How you ship that data across to the browser really depends on your choice of application framework. -- Alan Burlison -- _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
