Swato: Opensource Ajaxian Java Web Framework

<p>Zhijie Chen of Japan has created a new opensource framework for building Ajaxian web applications called Swato.

With the help of this framework, you just need to register your Java class (Model) at the server side (Spring), and do all of your View/Control at client side via JavaScript.

To build an application you:

Configure Swato
Build a POJO based service class
Register the class as a service
Use the service

Code Example Using the Service

var swatoEngine = new Swato.Engine('RPCServlet');

window.onload = function () {
	new Ajax.Updater('banner','banner.html');
	var languageCatcher= new Swato.Select('language_select');
	swatoEngine.callAndCatch(languageCatcher,'countryList',
					'getLanguageOptions',[]);
}

function changeLanguage(languageCode){
	var autoSuggestCatcher = new AutoSuggestControl('country');
	swatoEngine.callAndCatch(autoSuggestCatcher,'countryList',
				'getCountryList',[languageCode]);
}
