[opencms-dev] AJAX support

[Joe Desbonnet]

AJAX isn't a protocol or standard, it's just a popular term
(buzzword!) for technique for bypassing the usual HTTP request and
response model.  It can make web applications feel more like
traditional windows apps (Google Mail being an excellent example).

OpenCms is a content management system -- not a framework for building
web applications. It's like asking does the Apache web server support
web mail or ecommerce (answer: yes it does, but not directly -- it
sits in a layer below those applications).

Like wise OpenCms could incorporate web applications /modules using
AJAX techniques. There are several Java based AJAX libraries out there
and I'm sure you will have no difficulty integrating them into your
OpenCms application or module. However those libraries are not in
OpenCms and don't really belong there.. if you know what I mean.

I hope this made sense.

Joe.
