So I did my first adventure into the world of AJAX today. Nothing fancy, just a lookup on the server for the name of the area based on the zip code. DWR made it all a breeze. I spent a little time figuring out the config, but the amount of config and amount of code I had to do was extremely small. And thanks to the Spring integration it initialised and served up one of my simpler DAOs just like that, no changes to it.
I’m not really that experienced in JavaScript, so this would probably take me ages without DWR. Excellent lib!
