  • Writing JEE applications with Grails and Flex

    Grails and Flex both have significant advantages in different parts of the software stack. In this new article you will learn how they can be combined to take advantage of each's strengths. Topics covered include component communication, data transfer, and JMS integration.

  • Flex for XML and JSON

    Platforms need interoperability. In this article Flex interoperability with JSON and XML is explored. The article including mapping of XML to chart and grid components using the E4X library. It also demonstrates using the as3core library to decode JSON messages.

  • Interview and Book Excerpt: Pro Web 2.0 Application Development with GWT

    Jeff Dwyer discusses his new book, GWT 1.5, and creating searchable Ajax applications.

  • Developing Portlets using JSF, Ajax, and Seam (Part 3 of 3)

    This article, the last in a three-part series, expands upon the previous articles by introducing Seam. It covers integrating Seam into the previous sample application, deploying a Seam portlet, Bridgelets, Single-sign on between Seam and JBoss Portal, and several new features and capabilities of JBoss Portlet Bridge.

  • Your First Cup of Web 2.0 - A Quick Look at jQuery, Spring MVC, and XStream/Jettison

    Refreshing the web page every time data is requested from the server is annoying for the users. Joel Confino shows how existing web pages can be tweaked to request data via AJAX without refreshing the page, by using jQuery, a JavaScript library, which involves minimal changes to existing code.

  • ActionScript 3 for Java Programmers

    Often the hardest part of changing technologies is language syntax differences. This new article provides Java developers with a transition guide to Actionscript which forms the foundation of Adobe Flex and Air. Common constructs are covered such as interfaces, constants, operators, regular expressions and XML.

  • Developing Portlets using JSF, Ajax, and Seam (Part 2 of 3)

    This article, the second in a three-part series, expands upon the previous article by introducing RichFaces. It covers integrating RichFaces into the previous sample application, deploying a RichFaces portlet, and several features and capabilities of RichFaces.

  • Developing Portlets using JSF, Ajax, and Seam (Part 1 of 3)

    This article, the first in a three-part series, lays the framework for the rest of the series.
