Using AJAX with Java Technology

Greg Murray has written an introductory article on AJAX with Java for Sun's Enterprise Java Technologies Tech Tips series.




"Java technology and AJAX work well together. Java technology provides the server-side processing for AJAX interactions. It can provide this through servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology, JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology, and web services. The programming model for handling AJAX requests uses the same APIs that you would use for conventional web applications. JSF technology can be used to create reusable components that generate the client-side JavaScript and corresponding server-side AJAX processing code. Let's look at an example that uses AJAX and servlets...."

I strongly disagree that AJAX works well with JSF right now. Granted it does have potential to work because JSF has a flexible design, but the current implementation is lackluster at best. It is very frustrating to have choosen JSF and then to realize that using it right now actually makes AJAX almost impossible given time constraints. Simple AJAX calls are simply not permitted...you must commit to an integrated AJAX design, unfortunately. And what, we have to wait for JavaEE 1.5 to get native AJAX in the spec? Please.

I have not used AJAX with JSF so far, but would certainly like to see how well the two integrates. Thats why, I would like to know the constraints that you faced during the integration of AJAX with JSF.
