Hi,
I am a newbie to java. I have pulling off my hairs for the last two days over 'AJAX'.. and right now i am almost bald....with no visible progress from where I started.....

I noticed that for some reason, Ajax can be found talked about more in blogs than in discussion boards. I guess it just means that not many have begun venturing into its labrynth.

I have googled around for over two days and am yet to come across a tutorial or simple scriptlet with Ajax and JSP. Other than loads and loads of theory on the ajax, I found a lot of examples with Ajax and PHP. I am trying to convert one such example to jsp. I need guidance and help from Java Gurus in this forum.

For those who are thinking - 'What in the world is Aj-what?'?:-

Ajax is simply a way to make HTTP requests from Javascript code in a webpage (on the client). It doesn't really matter what server side technology you're using. All the Javascript used in the PHP tutorial should apply equally as well with JSP.

I liked this one:

By the way:
The moderator of our HTML/Javascript forum has just finished an AJAX book for Manning. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

Yes, AJAX is really new in the Java world, so there's not a whole lot of information out there on it. I've been trying to find good examples and tutorials too. (And waiting for Eric's book... ) One helpful resource I found was the Sun BluePrints catalog entry about using AJAX with JSP and JSF.

The Java Blueprints are a good source, as Nathan suggested. An article that really helped me integrate Ajax and Struts was Frank Zammetti's piece.

Not really a JSP topic, so moved to the HTML/Javascript forum.
