AJAX was all the rage at TheServerSide Java Symposium here, as keynoters and panelist offered predictions and expectations for the future of development on the Java platform.
Beust, who was invited onstage by Geir Magnusson, a member of the Apache Software Foundation and responsible for architecture for Intel's Middleware Products Division, as part of Magnusson's keynote, described AJAX as "SOA [service-oriented architecture] for the client. We're trying to pick up several services and put them on the client."
James Strachan, chief architect and co-founder of LogicBlaze, said, "AJAX is going to make a huge difference on how we build Web apps. AJAX and POJOs [plain old java objects] are the two biggies for building Web apps."
Meanwhile, Beust said "writing AJAX applications is a lot more challenging than writing client applications —mainly because of the tools—but it's worth it.
