Updating portions of a web page with AJAX requests
Asynchronous JavaScript and
XML (AJAX) is a development technique that you can use to create web
pages that relay information to and from a server only for the portions
of pages that users edit, while still displaying the rest of the page.
This technique can make web applications faster and more efficient
than if an entire page had to reload after each user action. You can
set up an EGL-controlled JSP file to call the JSF Handler's onPreRenderFunction and
provide a limited update to the page.
Running a web page on a server
When you are working with a web page in EGL, you can run
the page on a server to see how it will look when deployed.
Using the i5/OS integrated web application server
EGL supports development for the i5/OS™ integrated web application server, a
minimal footprint, easy to configure, secure environment for hosting
dynamic web applications on i5/OS.
