Ajax in Websphere

[Lee Sha]

Hi,

I am planning to user Ajax framework in my currect application running on Websphere. Do I have to import any libraries to make it work or can anyone tell me how I can set up my environment for using Ajax.

Lee,
AJAX is a concept. While you could hand code it, you more likely want to use a library/framework. Which will require a separate jar.

Ajax is a client-side mechanism. There is nothing that you need to do on the server to enable it.

I tried this out and it is working fine only when the servlet returns a text response. For XML response, I am not able to parse it. I guess, the javascript does not recognize it. Can anyone help me in this regard?

An XML response is a text response.

Ajax will parse the XML document for you. The parsed DOM is available via the responseXML property.
