Hi Jean Pierre,
I looked into Project Wonder at one time, but we can't use it in-

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
