1. the best tool is NetBeans ,,, it has many plugins that support AJAX ( like JMaki ) and in futute i expect that many framework can be integrated with it.

2. u can do what u did using .Net , but with small components in NetBeans ( like AutoComplete Text Field , Progress par , Rating , Rich Text field Area , Map chooser ) just these components.

in my opinino ( and this what im doing in my projects ) i write ajax in code , i make the javascript to call a servlet (or jsp page) i get used to do this , and i used ajax4jsf ,, it is so nice framework.
https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/

and i think JMaki is a good choice if u dont like to code ajax in ur hand :)

hi mohammedf,
thanks for your suggestions , i have installed jmaki plugin with netbeans6.0 .
now my reqiurement is make a dynamic table(no. of rows will be depend on no. of items fetched by database) in which i need ajax functionality. jmaki has two options one for table and one for altering table but how to insert my jsp code like<%=request.getParameter("no. of rows fetched from database ")%>.
what i did with normal html i write <tr> code in loop to make table dynamic
how can i do it with jmaki
plz if u can send me some examples or code or any study material ,that will be great favor for me.
thanks in advance

hi
u need not ajax to make dynamic table LTIndia, u can do that using netbeans without any ajax functionalty  just do the following:
1. drop a dataTable in the page
2. go to datasources , choose the table u want to view in this table ,, drag and drop it in the table u inserted in the design view of ur page

in this way u will automatically configure the data table

ok my table will contain hundreds of rows in future in that case i am giving next and previous button in my table two fetch rows . in that case i dnt want my page to be reload and refresh. how can i do it without using ajax as you suggest me my dear friend.
thanks

hi mohammedf,
basically my requirement is not only for this table i can manage it.Main thing is i am going to make a complex web application in which i have to use ajax. is jmaki sufficient as i dnt have knowledge on jmaki as you know and how can i speed up with jmaki to use its functionality frequentaly....
is there any site where i can get some examples in those jmaki(ajax) and jsp coding are running together

 

by: mohammedfPosted on 2008-02-06 at 03:09:25ID: 20830990

well
when using hundreds of rows , fetching all these rows will make the sarver to face a real problem :)
instead , Paging comes to rescue ,,,, when u use paging ( with the next and previous buttons ) the server quickly fetches the next page of rows. this is a performance issue.
note : AJAX is not the fanastice and amazing  solution for every thing :) as refreshing this page in this cases is ok ( ajax can do this with out refreshing , but u can use the functionalty in ur netbeans IDE ) it is much easy.

if u insest on  paging in ajax
here is a nice link:

hi mohammedf,
i am sending you link of one of the site made by my company
http://www.jogalaliga.com/VisitorModule/Leagues.aspx
now the project i am going to do on jsp has approximately same ajax functionality as the above site has.
plz if you have time then plz have a look of the site and then tell me such type of complex application how can be implementated in jsp and ajax. lets take an example like i want to use autocomplete in ajax now my contents are coming from database then how can i integrate it with Jmaki as i have seen no. of examples on jmaki but they are not using any db application....
have you any code where u have used ajax tags with database application
thanks in advance
rakesh

hi
i took a look at this site it is nice ( i like Barca by the way :) ) , it is simple in fact , and u can do the Ajax functionality by code ,, and u need not any component , all what u need is to improve ur ajax skills and forget IDEs and wizards for a while .

>>have you any code where u have used ajax tags with database application
AJAX do not interact with Database directly rakesh , instead the JSP page or asp page will do that ,, the main function of Ajax is to send and get response from the page ( jsp or asp ) so Ajax it self will not call the database.
