tag library "AjaxTags". Allows for simplified AJAX functionality
through the familiar PHP coding interface. phpAjaxTags has nearly
unlimited possibilities and applications.
Ajax JSP Tag Library
The AJAX Tag Library is a set of JSP tags that simplify the use of
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) technology in JavaServer Pages.
AJAX is primarily rooted in JavaScript. However, many server-side
developers do not have an extensive knowledge of client-side
programming in the browser. It's much easier in some cases for J2EE
developers, especially, to simply add a JSP tag to the page to gain the
function desired.
This tag library fills that need by not forcing J2EE developers to
write the necessary JavaScript to implement an AJAX-capable web form.
The tag library provides support for live form updates for the
following use cases: autocomplete based on character input to an input
field, select box population based on selections made from another
field, callout or balloon popups for highlighting content, refreshing
form fields, toggling images and form field states on/off.
The implementation is a combination of Java classes and JavaScript
source files. The Java code should be OS independent as there are no
client side components. However, the Java is dependent on JDK 1.5+ and
requires a Servlet container to run at least JSP version 2.0. Just if
you need includes with the area Tag you will need JSP version 2.1
(Tomcat6+). The JavaScript should run in at least Firefox 2.0+ and
Internet Explorer 6.0+.
While using the tag library please write XHTML code in your WEB application otherwise tag will fail and throw an error.
