java petstore1.3.x and ajax

I think that your first step is deciding whether you want to stay with WAF or go with some other framework (WAF was created before JSF was available). For example, if you look at PetStore 2.0 for Java EE 5, it runs on JSF:

https://petstore.dev.java.net/

Once you have made this decision, the next step is to decide how you want to integrate AJAX into your Java. PetStore 2.0 comes AJAX-enabled so you can get ideas from there.

For additional ideas on Java EE/Ajax integration, you might want to take a look at:

* JMaki (http://jmaki.dev.java.net)

* DWR (http://dwr.dev.java.net)

* JSF Extensions (https://jsf-extensions.dev.java.net)

* Project Phobos (https://phobos.dev.java.net/)

If you want to go directly to Javascript, then two very popular javascript frameworks (no reason to deal directly with Javascript/Browser portability issues) are:

* Scriptaculous/Prototype (http://script.aculo.us/)

* Dojo Toolkit (http://dojotoolkit.org)

Hi,

the correct link to the latest Java Petstore 2.0 is at https://blueprints.dev.java.net/petstore/ and this is where we will put the extra documentation also. We are working on an architecture document so it should be available in a little while.

If you have any specific questions, you could ask them on this forum and we can try to answer briefly.

hth,

Sean
