AjaxAnywhere (from September 2005)
AjaxAnywhere turns any set of existing JSP/JSF/Struts/Spring/etc.. components into AJAX-aware components without JavaScript coding. (Quick Start Demo).
- Does not break existing server-side MVC architecture.
- Less JavaScript to develop and to maintain. Absence of commonly accepted naming convention, formatting rules, patterns makes JavaScript code messier then Java/JSP. It is extremely difficult to debug and unit-test it in multi-browser environment. Get rid of all those complexities by using AjaxAnywhere.
- Easy to integrate. AjaxAnywhere does not require changing the underlying application code.
- Graceful degradation. Switch whenever you need between AJAX and traditional (refresh-all-page) behaviour of your web application. Your application can also support both behaviors.

AJAX JSP Tag Library
The AJAX JSP Tag Library is a set of JSP tags that simplify the use of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) technology in JavaServer Pages. This tag library eases development by not forcing J2EE developers to write the necessary JavaScript to implement an AJAX-capable web form.
- Autocomplete: Retrieves a list of values that matches the string entered in a text form field as the user types.
- Callout: Displays a callout or popup balloon, anchored to an HTML element with an onclick event.
- HTML Content Replace: Builds the JavaScript required to hook a content area (e.g., DIV tag) to a link, image, or other HTML element's onclick event.
- Portlet: Portlet-style capability from a AJAX-enabled JSP tag.
Image:Example.jpg
- Select/dropdown: Based on a selection within a dropdown field, a second select field will be populated.
- Tab Panel: Enable an AJAX-based set of property pages.
- Toggle: Uses images to create either a single on/off toggle or a sequential rating system.
- Update Field: Updates one or more form field values based on response to text entered in another field.
- Area and Anchor: Shows how to AJAX-enable any area of your page
- Ajax DisplayTag: Shows how to AJAX-enable DisplayTag

AjaxTags (a subcomponent of the Java Web Parts project)
Java Web Parts The AjaxTags component of the Java Web Parts project is a taglib that allows for very easy, purely declarative AJAX functions to be attached to any element on a page.
It is nice because it does not require you to change anything about your existing page, you can add AJAX features after the fact very easily. The taglib consists of two common tags, and two others that are less frequently used, which have one or two attributes apiece. Very simple! All you do is drop a tag directly after the element on the page you wish to AJAX-enable, configure an entry in an XML config file describing the AJAX event, and you're done! AjaxTags comes with a number of request and response "handlers" which provide common AJAX functions (i.e., construct XML from a form and submit it, update a div with the servers' response, execute returned populate a select, transform returned XML via XSLT, etc). It also has tremendous flexibility for you to create your own handlers to do other things, like transfrom the server's response via XSLT using Sarissa (this was a contributed custom handler which is now standard in AjaxTags). AjaxTags does not provide pre-made AJAX widgets as other libraries do, but it does provide the foundation to very easily and quickly build these (see the cookbook example of building Google Suggests with AjaxTags). AjaxTags also provides timed AJAX events, so you can continually refresh an iFrame for instance. AjaxTags is, in short, an exceedingly simple, powerful and flexible way to introduce AJAX into your applications without having to write ANY code yourself!
Ajax4jsf. AJAX for Java Server Faces Framework
Ajax4jsf is an open source framework that adds AJAX capability to existing JSF applications without using Javascript.
Ajax4jsf fully leverages the benefits of the JavaServer Faces framework including lifecycle, validation, and conversion facilities and management of static and dynamic resources. Using Ajax4jsf, rich components with built-in AJAX support and a highly customizable look-and-feel can easily be incorporated into JSF applications.
The framework is implemented using a component library that adds AJAX capability to your existing pages without needing to write any JavaScript code or needing to replace existing components with new AJAX widgets. Ajax4jsf enables page-wide AJAX support instead of the traditional component-wide support. This means you can define the event on the page that invokes an AJAX request and the areas of the page that should be synchronized with the JSF Component Tree after the AJAX request changes the data on the server according to the events fired on the client.

Ajax reusable GUI Classes and “loosely coupled” component based Framework
Raju’s GUI-API Ajax reusable GUI Classes are based on “patent pending” inventions, which let developers build easy to use and more flexible reusable GUI Classes than possible for traditional GUI Platforms such as Java/Swing or Windows/VC++.
- Developer's Guide Free for trial
- Technology summary
- Very Basic Tutorial for Developing a GUI Widget for GIS for a Newbie
- Tutorial for the technologies
- Proof for the inventions
To build superior online GUI applications than possible on the traditional GUI platforms, one needs superior GUI-API. Raju’s GUI framework offers simple and complete solution to build superior online applications. Raju's GUI-API will contain very lightweight and highly scalable GUI Classes. For example, fine-grained java-classes can be quickly composed to build GUI classes for larger components.
Although, component based processes are controversial, pioneer-soft strongly believes it invented a viable component oriented programming. The following web pages briefly summarizes the process:
- “Service access” to the interchangeable-parts for easy maintenance of the components/application
The basic proof is not complex: If the product-makers (e.g. computers and cars) were also cannot build interchangeable components and literally assemble them to create ‘hierarchies of loosely-coupled components’, they would also face crisis, similar to the software makers. These technologies are still needs to be peer-reviewed and accepted by other researchers, so the technologies not yet commercial.

ThinWire® - Beyond Ajax (Open Source under LGPL; Free for Commercial Use; In Production Use Since 2003)
ThinWire ThinWire® is an LGPL open source, free for commercial use, development framework that allows you to easily build applications for the web that have responsive, expressive & interactive user interfaces without the complexity of the alternatives. While virtually any web application can be built with ThinWire®, when it comes to enterprise applications, the framework excels with its highly interactive and rich user interface components. Use ThinWire® to handle the view-layer of your Java EE (J2EE) application and you'll be able to provide an unparalleled user experience, while at the same time completing your project faster than ever. To that end, a number of business banking applications built on ThinWire® are currently used at a production capacity, one of which is at a top ten bank in the United States with over 1000 live users. A quick run down of the top features are:
- Familiar event-driven GUI programming model
- Reconnects the flow of logic, no request / response
- Maintains state naturally via variables, not via session
- Develop exclusively in a server-side language only
- Rich set of complex widget components: GridBox, DropDownGridBox, Tree, TabFolder, Menu, DateBox, DropDownDateBox, Real-Time Edit Masking, etc.
- Effects engine similar to Scriptaculous
- Global XML Style Configuration
- Full keyboard navigation supported by all components
- Zero footprint client, no applets, ActiveX controls or browser plug-ins of any kind
- ThinWire is fast. The entire client-side part of the framework downloads once (Only 35K gziped!) and no further HTML, CSS or JS files are downloaded after that. The same client-side framework is used no matter how complex the application is that you build.
- Highly secure because no application logic executes in the browser and no service end-points are used like with other Ajax approaches. Only data you make visible through a component is sent over the wire, everything else stays on the server.
- All major browsers supported: Firefox 1 or greater, Opera 8 or greater, Safari 2 or greater, IE6 or greater
