Re: Any tutorials on using direct actions and/or component actions with AJAX

Hi Jean Pierre,

I looked into Project Wonder at one time, but we can't use it in- house for our work

I will point out that this is probably the worst possible decision you can make with respect to using WO. Given the very, very liberal license (use whatever you want, however you want) and the availability of source, there is no sane reason to not use Wonder. Without Wonder you condemn your project to unfixed bugs in WO and a MASSIVE amount of code that will need to be written. Wonder saves time and produces better code each and every day that you use it.


, so I've mainly stayed away from it for that reason. Also, what I'm really looking for are some simple examples that would show me how to do everything from scratch (I.e., no Javascript libraries or WO libraries) so that I can get a good feel for how these technologies work together before using a library for my day-to-day work.

While I applaud your desire to know how things work, just use the Ajax framework from Wonder. It makes Ajax work the WO way. Mike et al put a TON of "under the covers" work into this. You really don't want to have to duplicate that level of knowledge and understanding. And if you don't, what you come up with will be substandard. I don't see any business value in that. You can learn how things works gradually, later as you need to integrate third party Ajax things into your project (and hopefully into Wonder).

You wouldn't happen to know of any good resources that would fit that bill would you?

Thanks for the suggestion though, I really appreciate it.

Project Wonder provides a very good integration of AJAX (scriptaculous + prototype) with WebObjects.

To get started, see what is available:

http://www.mdimension.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/AjaxExample.woa

Then download source code for the Ajax examples from mdimension site and take a look at how the examples are implemented.

That should get you started.

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any tutorials or simple examples of
how to use AJAX with WebObjects. From what I've read so far, it looks
like direct actions will be used if you want to do any type of AJAX
work, but I've also seen mention of project Wonder using component
actions to implement its AJAX components and I would love it if I
could find a simple tutorial that showed how to do this.

Thanks for any input you can give me.

Cheers,

Christoper
