CHAPTER 13 Using Ajax and Dojo

Ajax development techniques and the Dojo JavaScript toolkit provide rich client functionality to your Web applications, improving interactivity between end users and your portlets and reducing loading times. The subject of this chapter is how you can use these technologies in WebSphere Portlet Factory (WPF). By the end of this chapter, you will have a firm grasp on the Ajax and Dojo builders available, and you will also know how to use Dojo widgets that are not already part of the default Dojo builders. You will also have built a sample application to demonstrate these techniques, which displays key performance indicators for employees in a fictional organization.
