Yesterday i did a presentation at JFall about JQuery and Grails: Why are we still generating the view layer on the server?. I’ve had some requests for more information, here’s a small list:
- The presentation: Client-Server 2.0
- What is Client-Server 2.0?
- JQuery howto: an accordion menu component
- Client-Server 2.0 enables disconnected applications
- Client-Server 2.0
- Creating charts using jquery flot and some grails
- Using JQuery autocomplete with grails and json

Great job @JFall!
IMO whatever technology it’ll be in the end – server side HTML generation to support internet/web applications is going the way of the ‘DODO’.

thx. I don’t think server generated html is going away. Maybe for applications but not for websites which need to be indexable by google. Semantically correct html without javascript or flex is still the best SEO approach.

Andrej,
after your presentation I asked you what the added value was of static html in your application model. Why not generate “everything”?
My question now is: can you give me the picture in your presentation describing you application architecture? Three blocks; “static web server”, “SOA/WOA container” and “application”.
I have a feeling that this can be molded into something more generic, that people can use as a Reference Architecture to describe the “seperation of concerns” in Rich Internet Applications.
Thanks!

Sure – but I think these websites fall in the category ‘websites’ (duh) – not ‘applications’.
