Si (& all),
I am in process of doing a lot of custom AJAX stuff for a new client. I intended on using prototype.js but based on conversations with other people decided to go with dojo instead. The main part of what I did was a JSON wrapper around the service event handler. What this does is allows you to define (controller) requests for ajax calls and have the results return in a lightweight (JSON) format. This will work with any front end toolkit (Yahoo, Prototype, Dojo, etc). The main point is to define a standard pattern for AJAX requests in OFBiz. Deciding on a toolkit for the javascript is very important and based on what I have researched and discussed with other people, Dojo seems to be the way to go. Of course, I am open for discussion with this, but we really should decide on a standard for contributions back to OFBiz. The last thing I want to see is several different ways of communication and different toolkits being used. Prototype.js has been removed from SVN for the time being. As soon as there is code which uses one of the toolkits it can be added back in. Let's start a community vote for the default AJAX toolkit to use in OFBiz. Based on the work I did, I have already setup the back end pattern, services using JSON for the return. Now let's decide on a front end toolkit. First lets, define the candidates: 1) Dojo 2) Prototype Andy Si Chen wrote: > Hi Andy - > > Just saw your commits last night.

I used prototype for my initial test and found it very easy to work
with. Dojo on the other hand seemed to have a much broader learning curve. It too me a while to get everything working, but I think it is due to the ajax part being more verbose. The extra features such as DND and other widgets is very nice as well. The fact that DOJO is available under the BSD license is a plus as well. I think there should be no license issues with this library. Should we just say DOJO is the way to go for future Ajax based tools in OFBiz or do we need a formal vote? Andrew Alex D.

I am curious as to the pattern used to make the async calls, what method
of return is used here? I see two possible patterns which would be useful: 1) JSON compressed objects. This will require more processing on the front end to pull the data and format the HTML. I like leaving this in the front end code personally. This is currently implemented using the JSONServiceEventHandler request handler. 2) Screen Widget based HTML return. The Ajax request makes a simple call which returns a HTML fragment (developed using screen widgets). The return is then just plugged in by updating the element content (innerHTML). Either of these patterns is fine by me, and I believe that for most applications a combination of the two would be necessary. I am sure there are many other ways to accomplish the same thing, but since there is so much effort about to begin around 'Ajaxing' OFBiz making sure things are consistent is #1 priority. I'm curious as to what other 'patterns' people have come up with (if any).

I'll let this thread run a little while longer before we say to have a
full official vote. As of right now, it appears most people are looking at Dojo, and that is fine with me. It seems that most of these toolkits do the same thing, so to me its just a matter of making a decision so I can push forward with my work. As for being more active on the lists, sorry I have been MIA for so long. I've been involved in a lot of custom (non open source) work as of late and apologize for not being around. I will do my best to be here as much as possible. Thanks! Andrew Alex D.
