Chapter 11. The Dojo Builders and Ajax
In this chapter, we will look into the Dojo capabilities and the Ajax techniques available through WEF.
In the previous chapter, you have already seen how WEF utilizes Dojo to accomplish many common tasks, for example, displaying tabular data. In fact, most of the high-level builders make extensive usage of the Dojo framework.
A few of the topics we will cover in this chapter are as follows:
What is Dojo and Ajax
The benefits of using Dojo and Ajax in portal development
The Dojo and Ajax related builders
Dojo Rich Text Editor (RTE) sample model
Dojo Tree sample model
This chapter starts with some concepts about Dojo, Ajax, and how they work in portal. However, the majority of this chapter will be spent working on two sample models to demonstrate how models can take advantage of these technologies.
