Transparent Ajax with Spring Web Flow and ICEfaces

Ajax applications can generally be developed with traditional techniques, but in order to produce revolutionary applications efficiently, some new ideas must be embraced. This session covers the characteristics of advanced Ajax applications and explainshow to develop and deploy them using Spring Web Flow and ICEfaces.

Advanced Ajax applications are characterized by: - single-page, multi-window interfaces, - fine-grained interaction on blur and click events, - cinematic effects, drag and drop, and - asynchronous page update (Ajax Push/Comet)

Attendees will learn the details of adding such features to their applications using Ajax Push from ICEfaces, powerful scope and navigation extensions from Spring Web Flow, and asynchronous I/O features from the Tomcat Servlet Container.
