Duke by Bianca, 2006. jMaki Ajax framework, Phobos (JavaScript) and jRuby on Rails on Java EE...Posted by ludo on December 06, 2006 at 08:24 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)Bonjour, comment Java? Today is the 1.0 beta release of the jMaki framework. I've been involved almost from the begining to work on the IDE integration. Try it out, it is really cool. Today is also the first time the JavaScript server side (and client) runtime (Project Phobos, announced at JavaOne 2006) has some advanced tools support (via NetBeans 5.5 or above plugins). The Phobos modules integrate nicely with the jMaki NetBeans plugin to offer Drag and Drop jMaki widgets inside EJS files (embedded JavaScript views). One module also introduces JavaScript Server side debugging in NetBeans. If you know how to use the Java debugger, this server side JavaScript debugger will be piece of cake:-). I will present this technology at JavaPolis next week in Belgium. One exciting area we are investigating is the usage of the Dojo (0.4.1) framework on the server side: yes: dojo is available via jMaki in Phobos and can be used on the 2 tiers: client (in the pages rendered by a browser) and in the server:-). Of course, all the Java APIs or Java EE 5 APIs (JPA persistence, JavaMail, Web Services) are available on the JavaScript server side via the Rhino "Packages." directive. Really cool to take advantage of these existing APIs in a scripting environment (save and page reload...No more deployment). For even better and faster productivity, the Phobos runtime can either run embedded inside NetBeans (same VM, so extremelly fast startup time), or be packaged in a standard Java EE WAR file, ready to be deployed to any server. this week is also very productive regarding jRuby on Rails running inside the Java EE 5 GlassFish server. If jRuby is something you track, make sure you read these blogs: blog1 and blog2. If you also read Tor's blog about jRuby, you'll have a chance at undestanding what's cooking int he scripting area. So if you are around next week at JavaPolis and you want to see what's cooking around JavaScript, jRuby, Java EE 5, GlassFish and NetBeans, stop by... ![]() Merci, Ludo | ||
