Hi,
Talking about JavaScript toolkits is becoming like talking about
programming languages: it's an endless debate about religious
zealotry, really ;)
Dojo is good, it works. Prototype is good, it works. Dojo is being
adopted as a standard by some Java libraries, like Struts 2 IIRC.
Prototype is a de-facto standard in the Ruby on Rails world. Hence my
first sentence above.
As long as you're considering options for OFBiz, I'd throw another
candidate in the ring: jQuery (
http://jquery.com/). It's a fantastic
little library that also works well, but importantly for me, solves my
biggest complaints about Dojo and prototype: size. Both Dojo and
prototype end up adding hundreds of KBs to the size of your web page.
Sure they might get cached on the client or elsewhere along the way,
but still, the software engineer in me hates the thought of all that
baggage.
