AJAXEngine

AJAXEngine is an AJAX Framework using the standard webservice protocols SOAP and WSDL for transferring the data between the browser client and the web server instead of using a new or proprietary protocol.

The key part of this engine is a small webservice client written in javascript and a state engine that controls the asynchronous communication. The benefit of that approach is that there is no need to invent new protocols and that the webservice framework on the server can be reused.

The server side of this AJAX Engine uses the ASP.NET framework, Version 2.0 and the C# programming language to implement the WebServices and a server side control library. Because WebServices are part of other standard frameworks it is easy to port the engine to other platforms and so there is a port of the core parts to the java platform available too.

This implementation has its focus on building an AJAX Engine and Web Controls upon standard WebServices (SOAP, WSDL) on the web server instead of using a new or proprietary protocol. The benefit for that is that there is no special coding necessary for most parts of the networking infrastructure and that many aspects like caching and security of the WebService implementation can be reused.
