I know that the prototype library was paired with Rails but I''m curious if anyone has used the ajax part (of the libraries) with java servlets? If so could you please point me to some examples or documentation. Cheers, Marty

All, I am looking to write an ecommerce application and debating using rails or struts. Any advice as to which path to follow.

Hello Everyone, Does anyone have any insight into the DWR library (http://getahead.ltd.uk/dwr/index)? I want to know the pros/cons of using DWR Vs Prototype/Scriptaculous libraries. I am a great fan of the prototype/scriptaculous combination and have been working with them for the last 3-4 months but for some reasons I have been asked to look into DWR. Due to it''s tight integration

Hi, I''ve started reading some Java books. Gasp! What makes website development with Java so bad? I haven''t looked at Struts but I''m reading about Hibernate. Compared to ActiveRecord, Hibernate seems like some extra typing to explicitly define the model fields, getters and setters. I know that these are things that you can do in ActiveRecord when things get complicated

Hi, Is there any interest in data binding functions? I''ve got several functions that enable you to populate tables, select lists and forms etc using js arrays and objects. It could be useful to anyone using Ajax, computed javascript or any other mechanism to read data from a server separately from the HTML. Any interest? Joe.

Anyone had success at this? Even if I manually download the 1.1 gem file, the "gem install rails" command gives me "ERROR: Error installing gem rails[.gem]: rails requires activesupport = 1.3.0" -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello Ruby users, let me introduce myself briefly - I am a student at OvG University Magdeburg, Germany, and I hope to get some advice for a nonprofit student community portal I am involved with, just in case somebody is interested: http://www.webuni.de, having around 3000 active users. Development is done on a voluntary basis by members of the community, mainly IT students with too much

I have a partial, it''s a shopping cart display, it''s designed to appear on several different pages of my site. One of the buttons on the shopping cart empties the cart, and then I want the calling page to redisplay. In other words, the cart controller needs to return the visitor to the same page -- however since the cart could appear on any given page, this has to be

Hello LLVMers (in particular, LLVMers interested in GSoC), Since people seem interested in GSoC project ideas, here is one that might not be totally obvious -- work on LLVM's testing infrastructure! :) I have been working hard on modernizing our nightly test performance monitoring software, but there is a lot more work to be done. As LLVM developers, we rely on this software for tracking

Hi *, we are using prototype in Apache MyFaces as our javascript library of choice. Recently, there has been much discussion on our mailing list as to the usability of prototype in a dynamic environments where several javascript libraries are used. The critics of prototype argue that the prototype objects are not namespaced - and that prototype extends basic javascript-objects with method names

Hi Daniel, I'm an interested student in that idea I enjoy building web apps and I have good experience. I've worked with PHP, Javascript (Jquery, Dojo, ...), Java (JSF, Struts, ...), and some databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ...) ... for more than 7 years. I graduated in 2005 and this year I've started doing Masters. For this year I have to study LLVM because it can be part of my thesis

Hello - I wanted to announce a very large web application that was built with Ruby on Rails and runs the site Gusto! http://www.gusto.com/ . It was deployed yesterday in a little over 4 months of development with 3 developers. The origins of the site were being developed in Java using Hibernate + Tapestry and the decision was made to port the 100+ table model to Rails to see if there were

All, I am working through the ''depot'' sample application from the "Pragmatic Programmers" book on my powerbook. I was going through the install process on http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger and it seemed to work fine. But when I try to create the first table, I get the following error, and I have no idea what this means. Any

I''m trying to use Canoo WebTest (based on HtmlUnit) to test my webapp after integrating scriptaculous. While my test passed, I get a nice long exception message which barely makes any sense (see below). I found I could get rid of this message by commenting out line 114 of effects.js: 114 this.timeout = setTimeout(this.loop.bind(this), 10); Any idea of what might be causing

I''ve been working on an AJAX search, very similar to the Flickr one in the screencast linked from the main rails page. I''ve been doing my testing in Safari, where everything has worked fine, only to now discover the results of the search action seem disinclined to load in Firefox. I can enter a URL to return the HTML fragment that''s supposed to be dropped into

I have been frustrated with J2EE technology just like any other developer who has worked in that technology for a long time. This made me learn about Rails and I was excited about RoR. Today I came across JBoss Seam framework and I am not able to contain my excitement. My passion for JEE development is back. It seems like it is better than RoR. I would like to hear differnt opinions about this

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

So someone finally named server-push through HTTP-keepalive "Comet" It''s also been implemented in a very nice Java/Javascript library called DWR. http://ajaxian.com/archives/dwr-20-reverse-ajax Has there been any discussion by "the core" about adding this to Rails 1.2? :) -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part
