The Ajax craze is sweeping the world, and there is no shortage of libraries from which to choose to make it all easier to develop. One of those libraries has risen near the top in the Java space, and that library is DWR. DWR, or Direct Web Remoting, allows you to treat your Java classes running on the server as if they were local objects running in the browser, bringing the full power of your server?side business logic to the client without the usual problems that entails. In this book, you will: Explore DWR and all it offersFind six full, working applications that use DWR, instead of a lot of theoretical musingsLearn by example, more importantly, by doing, as you tear the applications apart, see what makes them tick, and even extend them at your own pace
In the end, you?ll have a great feel for what DWR offers and how Ajax can bring the world of Web 2.0 to your doorstep, and you?ll have a good time doing it. What you?ll learn Call a server?side object in a snap and make it look like any local JavaScript call to bootProvide a strong security mechanism for securing your server-side codeIntegrate with many of the most popular frameworks out thereProvide not only Ajax but Comet capabilities (sometimes called reverse Ajax)Dig into Ajax using DWR in a practical and hacking kind of way starting with a webmail client and Wiki projectsBuild a simple file manager application and an online timesheet systemComplete a DWR?based game project Who this book is for

Synopsis
The Ajax craze is sweeping the world, and there is no shortage of libraries from which to choose to make it all easier to develop. One of those libraries has risen near the top in the Java space, and that library is DWR. DWR, or Direct Web Remoting, is an Ajax library and Web framework that is very popular, and getting backing and support from Spring Framework developers and users.
Practical DWR Web 2.0 Projects addresses the needs of most developers who would rather learn by example and by doing. This book contains several projects that developers can sink their teeth into doing.
Written by accomplished Ajax and Java Web developer and author, Frank Zammetti, this book looks to be first and only book on this popular Ajax and Web development technology to market.
