AJAX DEVELOPMENT

Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a technology of web programming that helps to get rid of the hourglass. Data, content, and design are combined together into a flawless whole. The Ajax engine that operates within the browser renders the Web application and processes any requests that one might have from the Web server. The advantage that Ajax has above other technologies while handling the requests, it can hold most information in the engine itself, at the same time allowing the interaction with the web application and the client to happen asynchronously and independently of any interaction with the server.

Ajax is a process of developing Web applications by the combinations of :

• XHTML and CSS standards based on the presentations.
• Interaction with the web page through the DOM
• Data interchange with XML and XSLT
• Asynchronous data retrieval with XMLHttpRequest
• Javascript to tie it all together

  AJAX + SOA: Added Value for Enterprise Applications

• Businesses that are trying to enhance their unit productivity and the reuse of IT assets continue to struggle but some IT organizations have attained some accomplishment by tackling these challenges with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA enables programmers to develop rich web interfaces with more added values to next-generation enterprise applications. AJAX offers a client-side programming model and the ease of making asynchronous calls to the server thus offering extended visual service, desktop interactivity and functionality. AJAX compliments SOA with its better user interaction in both remote (internet, extranet) and local (intranet) enterprise applications. Some other benefits like operation cost savings, better control over document circulation and improved security can be experienced in the existing IT infrastructure by making RIA (Rich Internet Application) a part of the applications.
