Noel: Thanks for the comments. Very well put about what you would like to see XAP become - I see the same thing as well. I'd like this project to be as successful as possible with precisely the goal you quoted. I don't think it would be as successful as it could be if it stayed tied to its Nexaweb roots. One of the reasons of proposing this project at Apache is to bring in all those other good ideas with a broad dev and user community to keep it going.

I think this is a good suggestion. This can be done and it would work well with XAP. Regard to the question of "Where is the binding for client events connecting to the server-side model, be it tying into a JSF framework or binding to a WSDL-defined service?": 1. Client events connect to server side resources via normal HTTP request/response to a server side URL. As a result, server side can be JSF, JSP, Servlet, ASP, ASP.NET or just pure static pages. 2. Dojo and Kabuki all provide ways to connect to server side via SOAP or JSON like interface - such things would be supported by XAP as well. -----Original Message----- From: Noel J.

One thing that I don't see, reviewing http://www.openxal.org/. I read that it "is a pure client-side implementation. It should support any server side infrastructure", but I don't see how it connects UI elements to the server-side infrastructure. Where is the binding for client events connecting to the server-side model, be it tying into a JSF framework or binding to a WSDL-defined service? --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
