AJAX for the Java Developer

AJAX definitely has the buzz right now, but it might not be the right thing for you. AJAX is limited to the latest browsers, exposes browser compatibility issues, and requires new skill-sets for many. There is a good blog entry by Alex Bosworth on AJAX Mistakes which is a good read before you jump full force into AJAX.
While many developers will encounter AJAX via an existing framework, you may choose to dig deeper or provide functionality above and beyond what is provided. Java is a great fit for AJAX! You can use Java Enterprise Edition servers to generate AJAX client pages and to serve incoming AJAX requests, manage server side state for AJAX clients, and connect AJAX clients to your enterprise resources. The JavaServer Faces component model is a great fit for defining and using AJAX components. A Java developer that would like to add AJAX functionality to an application should read this article on FAQ's on AJAX for Java.
