(Page 3 of 5 )
There is another way, other than AjaxTags, to use AJAX with Java Server Faces user interface designs using Ajax4jsf. You can also use that. But my favorite AJAX tag library is jMaki. We will focus on learning how to create a feature-rich web application with jMaki for the rest of this article.
jMaki is an Ajax framework that provides a lightweight model for creating JavaScript-centric Ajax-enabled web applications using Java, PHP, and Phobos -- according to the jMaki project team. This is good news for PHP developers as they can also use jMaki. To use jMaki with Netbeans IDE, first download the Netbeans module from https://ajax.dev.java.net/jMaki-plugin.html and install the module. The installation procedure is described in detail at the above link. After installing the jMaki module you can create web 2.0 applications by dragging and dropping.
Run the Netbeans IDE. Create a new project from the File menu. Select web application.
