Re: Ajax?

I dont know if there is a tutorial. If not, you can write one with
your experience and everybodies tips, and then, I guess, send it to
Matt so he add it to the wiki (right Matt?).

In my opinion, you have two good options in Appfuse:

1) DWR
This is good when you want to get javascript objects from Java and vice-versa.
DWR is already configured in web.xml so you call its servlet. the url
pattern used is "/dwr/*".
If you want to integrate it with your Spring config, you can do:
- in your action-servlet.xml, add a url mapping to your urlMapping
bean like this (add it after all the others):
<prop key="/**/*">dwrController</prop> (dont know if this the best,
but it works).

- define your dwrController:
        <bean id="dwrController"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ServletWrappingController">
                <property name="servletClass">
                        <value>uk.ltd.getahead.dwr.DWRServlet</value>
                </property>
                <property name="initParameters">
                        <props>
                                <prop key="debug">false</prop>
                        </props>
                </property>
        </bean>

- configure your WEB-INF/dwr.xml
<dwr>
        <allow>
                <convert converter="bean" match="br.com.facio.progenda.model.*" />
               
                <create creator="spring" javascript="DwrManager">
                        <param name="beanName" value="dwrManager" />
                </create>
        </allow>
</dwr>

- I created a DWRManager in applicationContext-service.xml:
    <bean id="dwrManager" parent="txProxyTemplate">
        <property name="target">
            <bean
class="br.com.facio.progenda.service.impl.DWRManagerImpl"
autowire="byName" />
        </property>
        <property name="transactionAttributes">
            <props>
                <prop key="*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,readOnly</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

- Now, you can play with it by creating methods in this DWRManager and
calling them from your javascript code, lke this:
<script>
function test(){
        DwrManager.getPerson(_replyPerson, document.getElementById('personId').value);
}

var _replyPerson = function(person){
        alert("The person name is:" + person.name);
}
</script>


2) Script.aculo.us
This is very nice. If you want, for example, to update a content of a
div with html code received from the server, use scriptsaculous
Ajax.Updater. There is nothing to confire. This will only request your
server as it was a normal request, receiving a response that your
controller flushes (html, xml, whatever).
