Si Chen commented on OFBIZ-269:
-------------------------------

It's a very good proof of concept though.  We played around with Ajax for a bit, but now that Andy's doing more along those lines, let's see what he comes with.

> Sorry about the duplicate files. the upload made it appear to me that one replaced the other. :)

> This is my version of your AjaxPartyServices.java as AjaxPartyEvents.java

> Hey everybody - this works!
> I looked at your code and would like to suggest -
> 1. AjaxPartyServices.java is really AjaxPartyEvents.java since you have written an Events servlet not a Service. I just changed it and uploaded it for you.
> 2. I think a lot of the Javascript in findparty.ftl should be moved into an ajax javascript file that could be shared everywhere, since they seem to be pretty standard?
> 3. Please clean up the formatting of AjaxPartyEvents.java. See http://ofbizwiki.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=FAQ27

> David and Andy -
> Can you make a specialized/ajax directory so we can put some ajax-related stuff in there, like this, that all the applications/ can use, but at the same time not mess with framework/?

> I agree 100% with all 3 points and had every intention of getting to 1 and 2. didn't know about 3 till just now :(
> I found out last night after loading 200,000 users that things got a little slow.
> a temporary fix was to require at least 5 characters in the lastname.
> I'm working on 2 other jira things now and can get to this on tuesday.

> Great.
> Also I think it would be nice to change your AjaxPartyEvents.java to a more generic AjaxEvents.java and parametrize the entities and fields, etc., so that it could be used everywhere for auto-completion. We could then integrate it into the form-widget at a later date.

> Here are the new files for the ajax lastname control. I wasnt sure what was wrong with the formatting. maybe a critique of the formatting would give me a better idea of what's wrong.
