AJAX-enable your WebSpeed applications with ws:AJAX
Proaxima have developed an AJAX toolkit based on xajax making it quick and easy to add AJAX functionality to your WebSpeed and ps:eScript applications.
What is ws:AJAX?
ws:AJAX is an extension to WebSpeed that allows you to easily create powerful, web-based AJAX applications using XHTML, CSS and JavaScript. Applications developed with ws:AJAX can asynchronously call server-side 4GL functions and update content without reloading the page.
How does ws:AJAX work?
The ws:AJAX WebObject generates JavaScript wrapper functions for the 4GL functions you want to be able to call asynchronously from your application. When called, these wrapper functions use the JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object to asynchronously communicate with the WebObjects on the server which calls the corresponding 4GL functions. Upon completion, an XML response is returned from the WebObject, which ws:AJAX passes back to the application. The XML response contains instructions and data that are parsed by the JavaScript message pump and used to update the content of your application. ws:AJAX uses the client-side JavaScript library from xajax.
