      Jaxcent - pure Java AJAX API


      Presentation by Mukesh Prasad

Jaxcent is a Java-only API for AJAX. JavaScript programming is not 
required in Jaxcent, beyond adding a single JavaScript include statement 
to HTML content. Jaxcent works with standard Java servlet containers and 
provides classes matching elements of the Document Object Model (DOM), 
that can be instantiated to match HTML elements existing on the page. 
These classes provide methods for interacting with the HTML elements on 
the page, and for receiving events originating from the HTML element, 
all in Java. In addition to dynamic interactions with the HTML elements, 
Jaxcent also provides automatic session data management.

The initial release (V1) of Jaxcent was a TRIJUG topic last summer. The 
initial release was limited in scope, as a client-side Internet Explorer 
Automation Java API, and was designed for closed intra-nets.

The new release (V2) is a full-fledged Java AJAX solution for the open 
internet.

About the Speaker:
Mukesh Prasad has been in the software industry since pre-historic times 
(well, speaking in "internet time") and has actually worked for now 
extinct dinosaurs such as Digital Equipment Corporation and Software 
Arts (Digital Equipment originated the "minicomputer", Software Arts was 
the inventor of the spreadsheet.)

He has worked in C, C++, Java and C#. He works as an independent 
consultant, and in his free time has developed various software packages 
and sites. Some of his work can be found at:
- http://www.ezjcom.com A bridge builder that allows calling COM from 
Java or Java from Visual Basic or C#. Jaxcent is an outgrowth of this 
project.
- http://www.blazix.com A Java web/application server.
- http://www.jsptut.com A JSP Tutorial site. Somewhat popular, usually 
ranks #1 in Google for "JSP Tutorial".

Jaxcent is his latest project. Version 1 of Jaxcent (presented at Trijug 
last year) was limited in scope as a Java API for Internet Explorer 
automation, and was designed for closed intranets. Version 2 of Jaxcent 
is a full-fledged Java AJAX solution for the open internet.
