Tibco taps AJAX for SOA

TAGS: SOA

Tibco Software on Wednesday is announcing that it has become a sponsor of Direct Web Remoting (DWR), which is an AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) communication library.

The sponsorship will aid developers in exposing Java objects as AJAX services and extending message- and event-driven SOA into Web browsers via real-time AJAX services, the company said in a statement.

"DWR is a rapid way for Java developers to expose Java objects as simple AJAX services without the need for additional configuration or transformation. We have many customers already using DWR with the General Interface AJAX library," said Kevin Hakman, director of product marketing for Tibco General Interface, in a statement released by the company. "With DWR's reverse AJAX capability, messages and events can be pushed from the server to the browser so that Web applications can also have real-time notification and streaming data features."

Tibco will work with Joe Walker, the founder of DWR, to integrate DWR with the Tibco General Interface AJAX toolkit for building graphical UIs in a browser. Also, Tibco will seek to extend DWR so it can function as a Java Business Integration standard service engine and be deployed on the Tibco ActiveMatrix service virtualization platform.

Combining AJAX libraries from General Interface and DWR will provide capabilities to deliver rich user features such as editable grids, real-time events and notifications and streaming data, Tibco said.
