Calling Web Services with ASP.NET AJAX Dan Wahlin Web Services are an integral part of the .NET framework that provide a cross-platform solution for exchanging data between distributed systems. Although Web Services are normally used to allow different operating systems, object models and programming languages to send and receive data, they can also be used to dynamically inject data into an ASP.NET AJAX page or send data (more…)

3 AJAX’s shortcoming ? Because AJAX is new, it has very inconsistent support among browsers. ? Also, to develop with AJAX, you need to have some knowledge of JavaScript, which is out of reach for many page authors.
4 Learning AJAX ? Fast (easy) if you ? are a JavaScript guru ? have memorized the entire DOM API ? own and study books on DHTML, Java Script, CSS, AJAX and useful hacks for each technology ? Slow (more…)

Microsoft’s ASP.NET technology brings an object-oriented and event-driven programming model and unites it with the benefits of compiled code. However, its server-side processing model has several drawbacks inherent in the technology, many of which can be addressed by the new features included in the Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX Extensions. These extensions enable many new rich client features, including partial (more…)

What is JavaScript? •An interpreted programming language with object oriented capabilities. •Not Java! -Originally called LiveScript, changed to JavaScript as a marketing ploy by Sun and Netscape. Can also be referred to as ECMAScript. •Not simple! -Although it is loosely typed and can be used by web developers in a “cookbook” fashion (think image rollovers), JavaScript is a fully featured programming language with many advanced features.

Fingerprinting is an age old concept and one that adds great value to assessment methodologies. There are several tools available for fingerprinting operating systems (nmap), Web servers (httprint), devices, etc. Each one of these tools uses a different method – inspecting the TCP stack, ICMP responses, HTTP responses. With this evolution of Web 2.0 applications that use Ajax extensively, it is important (more…)

This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of combining Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX) and the Representational State Trans- fer (REST) architectural style with the Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF) standard. Accessing WS-Resources (according to WSRF) in a manner compatible with the REST princi- ples, using a Web browser, makes it possible to provide a light-weight, portable (more…)

Now that you’ve created your first map (in Chapter 2) and had a chance to perform some ini- tial experiments using the Google Maps API, it’s time to make your map a little more useful and dynamic. Most, if not all, of the best Google Maps mashups rely on interaction with the user in order to customize the information displayed on the map. As you’ve already learned, it’s relatively easy to create a map and display (more…)

This demo uses the example of a Stock Portfolio to demonstrate the use of Ajax and Apache ActiveMQ and to show how to integrate them. Ajax (short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is an approach to web application programming involving many technologies. Web applications require many time-consuming page reloads after calling the server. The purpose of Ajax is to minimize page reloads (more…)
