>Wesley Tanaka has written
Yet Another Chat Client, and uses this experience to
discuss some of the implementation details.
Wesley ends up wanting to have a <?JS … ?> construct a la PHP. Why does he want this? So he can share code between the client and server side of the application.
He rewrote the same functionality for a couple of the features (although you could of course use XHR to run that functionality on the server side and get the result back to the client).
This is another example of how JavaScript on the server side is probably going to grow.
With tools like Mozilla Rhino, you can do this right now.

There’s Helma – a javabased web framework which you can script with serverside javascript – it’s fast, stable and nice to work with.
http://helma.org/
Back in the bad old days when I was writing ASP I made the shift from back-end VBScript to writing everything in backend JScript for exactly this reason. Generating dynamic front-end Javascript with backend Javascript sure got confusing though :)
Stefan -
Will have to check into Helma.
I know that Jot does a lot on the server with JavaScript, and with Rhino it is simple to add JavaScript to any Java world.

Please..
Where i get this chat? I very like this chat (treehouse)..
Is possible download source this chat?
I’m using JavaScript on server side since 1998. With Caucho Resin v. 2 (see: http://caucho.com), you can use pure JavaScript in place of Java in JSP.
JS is parsed in Java by Resin then compiled in a servlet, transparently. More : if you need to use a specific Java package to do some job, you can import it to use it directly with JavaScript.
Very nice !
Hi, maybe you can take a look at firecat, a server-side JavaScript Webserver:

With wxJS you can write server side JavaScript: http://wxjs.sourceforge.net
