Specific Technologies • Netbeans and Glassfish • JavaScript, Servlets and Java Server Pages • XML (various languages) • AJAX • Mashups • Freebase • Ruby • Frameworks – Ruby on Rails • Grammars - DTD’s, XSDL, JSON Schema • XML Transformation - XSLT • Semantic Web – OWL, RDF, Protégé, Jena Master of Information System Management
Structure of the Course • Lectures / class participation • Demonstrations • Homework (programming) • Midterm • Final examination Master of Information System Management
Readings • Readings from the required text are assigned for each lecture -- read them in advance • Readings from the web also assigned • For this week read “Programming the World Wide Web”, 7th ed. Chapters 1, 2 and 3. Especially chapter 3 on CSS. • For next week read “Programming the World Wide Web”, 7th ed. chapters 4, 5 and 10. • Chapters 4 and 5 are on JavaScript • Chapter 10 covers AJAX. • Read the article by Philip McCarthy of IBM on AJAX Master of Information System Management
Grading • Homework/Programming (3-5) 50% • One of the homework problems is designed by the student. A presentation and demonstration is required. See me soon about your topic. • For the student designed homework, small groups are permitted. Each student presents for the same number of minutes. • Midterm 10% • Final Exam 40% Master of Information System Management
Some Suggested Topics For Student Assigned Homework • Explore one of the many XML languages in more detail than we do in class. • Discuss and demonstrate an HTML5 element (audio, video, time, canvas). • HTML5 document structure • HTML5 Local storage. • Flash, PhoneGap, GWT, Jquery, etc… • Many other options exist. See the schedule for projects from previous terms.. Master of Information System Management
Rich Internet Applications • The traditional web employed thin clients. • In RIA, the browser is extended by downloaded code. • With AJAX, the downloaded code interacts with the server asynchronously. The client does not block. • This makes for a more responsive user experience. Master of Information System Management
RIA Using Ajax Asynchronous Java Script and XML • Why bother? - Everyone loves the browser but communication with the server is coarse-grained. A full page reload interrupts the interaction flow. • Example Applications: (Web 2.0) - Google Maps runs in a browser but behaves like an application. - Flikr photo sharing, Google Maps, Blackboard, etc.. use AJAX. Master of Information System Management
AJAX • Typically uses JavaScript or VBScript on the client side. • The server side might be in any language, e.g., PHP, ASP.NET, or Java. • Any XML document or text may be returned to the caller. Simple text, JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) or XML is common. • Client-side Javascript libraries like Dojo or Prototype or Jquery may be used. • Frameworks (RoR, JSF, etc.,) support Ajax. • Normally, requests may only go back to the originating server. • However, mashups (combining diverse site output) may still be constructed by having the originating server make calls to other servers. • Client side mashups may also be built with a dynamic <script> tag. • Ajax is important to mobile phones. JSON service access is easy • See www.openajax.org Master of Information System Management
Before We Start • A servlet is Java code that runs on the server when an HTTP request arrives. • A Java Server Page (JSP) is XHTML+ Java and is compiled to a servlet. • JavaScript is not Java and runs in the browser. • XHTML is one of many XML languages Master of Information System Management
This is a UML sequence diagram. This shows a typical AJAX round trip. A solid arrowhead represents a synchronous call. A stick arrowhead represents an asynchronous signal. Master of Information System Management
Typical Ajax(1) • Javascript and HTML is delivered to the browser. 2. The JavaScript code is pointed to by a <script> tag. 3. The HTML defines a button that calls a function. Master of Information System Management
Typical Ajax(2) 4. Within the function (which may be passed a URL with GET data) a browser dependent request object is created with a URL (and, perhaps, GET data). 5. A handler is defined. 6. The request object is told about the handler. 7. The request object is told to send a post or get request asynchronously. Master of Information System Management
Typical Ajax(3) 8. If POST is used, the send method is called on the request object with the POST data. 9. The handler executes on various state changes in the request object. 10.The handler accesses the server response by asking the request object first for its state (and if it's ready with no errors) its response. Master of Information System Management
Typical Ajax(4) 11. The response may be text, or XML or JSON. 12. The handler performs some action on the browser. This action may alter the HTML's DOM and change what the browser displays. Master of Information System Management
The XMLHttpRequest Object as Described by W3C • The XMLHttpRequest interface can be used by scripts to programmatically connect to their originating server via HTTP. • Implements an interface exposed by a scripting engine. • Supports any text format (not only XML). • Supports HTTP and HTTPS. • The term “Request” should be broadly defined to include Request and Response. Master of Information System Management
W3C Example 1 Some simple JavaScript code to do something with data from an XML document fetched over the network: function test(data) { // taking care of data } Master of Information System Management
function handler() { if(this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) { // so far so good if(this.responseXML != null && this.responseXML.getElementById('test').firstChild.data) // success! test(this.responseXML.getElementById('test').firstChild.data); else test(null); } else if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status != 200) { // fetched the wrong page or network error... test(null); } } var client = new XMLHttpRequest(); client.onreadystatechange = handler; client.open("GET", "test.xml"); client.send(); Master of Information System Management
W3C Example 2 If you just want to ping the server with a message you could do something like: function ping(message) { var client = new XMLHttpRequest(); client.open("POST", "/ping"); client.send(message); } We are not establishing a callback handler. We are not interested in a response. Master of Information System Management
W3C Example 3 Or, if you want to check the status of a document on the server, you can make a head request. function fetchStatus(address) { var client = new XMLHttpRequest(); client.onreadystatechange = function() { if(this.readyState == 4) returnStatus(this.status); } client.open("HEAD", address); client.send(); } Master of Information System Management
State and State Change The state of the object. The readyState attribute must be one of the following values: 0 Uninitialized The initial value. 1 Open The open() method has been successfully called. 2 Sent The user agent successfully acknowledged the request. 3 Receiving Immediately before receiving the message body (if any). All HTTP headers have been received. 4 Loaded The data transfer has been completed. When readyState changes value a readystatechange event is to be dispatched on the XMLHttpRequest object. Master of Information System Management
Typical Interaction post JavaScript function XML XMLHTTPRequest handler • - Executed on • state change. • - this.responseXML • points to the root • of the XML • write HTML to • HTML DOM HTML Button Master of Information System Management

Another Example From Sebesta Chapter 10 A form is required to collect name, address, zip, city, and state. The zip code entry causes an asynchronous call on a servlet to automatically complete the city and state fields. The asynchronous call is made when the user blurs (or moves away from) the zip code field. This demo is in the Netbeans project mm6/www/95-733/AjaxUsingNetbeans/SebestaAjaxExample. Master of Information System Management
Index.jsp Main Features <tr> <td> Zip Code: </td> <td> <input type = "text" name="zip" size = "10" onblur = "getPlace(this.value)" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> City </td> <td> <input type = "text" name="city" id= "city" size = "30" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> State </td> <td> <input type = "text" name="state" id="state" size = "30" /></td> </tr> Locations written to by ajax handler Master of Information System Management
