[jsword-devel] Introduction

[Mete Kural]

Hi Yiguang,

In addition to DHTML-based AJAX, there is also another
AJAX-like view technology called Laszlo which you can
find here:
http://www.openlaszlo.org/
Since you are developing with JavaServer Faces you
might be interested that IBM released a set of
JavaServer Faces components that create Laszlo
components called Faces for Laszlo:

Kind regards,
Mete
