I know what AJAX is and what it isn't. What I don't know is what OpenCms is and what OpenCms isn't. Specifically, I don't know if there are any modules / built in features to help handle the server side of the AJAX paradigm.

AJAX isn't a protocol or standard, it's just a popular term<br>(buzzword!) for technique for bypassing the usual HTTP request and<br>response model. It can make web applications feel more like<br>traditional windows apps (Google Mail being an excellent example).
<br><br>OpenCms is a content management system -- not a framework for building<br>web applications. It's like asking does the Apache web server support<br>web mail or ecommerce (answer: yes it does, but not directly -- it
<br>sits in a layer below those applications).<br><br>Like wise OpenCms could incorporate web applications /modules using<br>AJAX techniques. There are several Java based AJAX libraries out there<br>and I'm sure you will have no difficulty integrating them into your
<br>OpenCms application or module. However those libraries are not in<br>OpenCms and don't really belong there.. if you know what I mean.<br><br>I hope this made sense.<br><br>Joe.<br><br><br><br><br>On 3/23/06, <a href="mailto:stuart.powers@gmail.com">
