Ajax, but without JavaScript : AWESOME!

I´ve been designing an architecture for a new application where I am evaluating a lot of Ajax Solutions. Reading one of Javatool´s Newsletter, I discovered a framework called ZK , which sounds nice because is not required use JavaScript to automate everything, you can use simply plan Java syntax.

I am sure you should check it out in:

Some examples

Look in the following example:

Look, that we are using the Thread class inside our simple .zul file.

Take a look in the following image, and the kind of the cool stuff you can do with:

I am creating some modules for NetBeans, to try turn the ZK development simple , I am also looking for enough time develop it, as sooner as I finish, I will publish it here.

• Hi Edgar,

  it is great to hear, that you working on that module!

  I really like the ZK-framework, and I use it by extending the ZK-classes.
  My web-application had only one line, where I call my application-window.

  So I do not need the editor, but an easy way to create a correct web.xml will be fine.

  If you need someone to test your module? May be I can help you.

  Best regards from the cloudy Bremen
