Asynchronous UI updates are very useful, because they typically improve the responsiveness, usability and the general feel of user interfaces. I’ll be focusing here on the ZK framework, but generally the same principles apply for desktop UIs too (Swing, SWT).
Grails is a modern web application framework with the powerful plugin architecture. To make Grails better fit requirements for developing enterprise Rich Internet Applications (RIA), the ZK plugin for Grails (aka ZKGrails) comes to fill this gap.
This white paper explores three event-driven graphical user interface (GUI) patterns using the ZK Java AJAX framework; specifically, "Passive View," "Supervising Controller" and "Presentation Model." The patterns are discussed in the context of a simple screen implemented three times using each of the three patterns.
A key distinction between ZK MVVM and ZK MVC implementation wise is that we do not access and manipulate the UI components directly in the controller(ViewModel) class. In this post, we’ll see how we can delegate some of the UI manipulation to client side code, as well as how to pass parameters from View to ViewModel.
OpenShift is a Platform As A Service (Paas) offering from Red Hat joining the likes of Heroku, GAE, Jelastic and others. OpenShift supports Java EE, PHP, Node.js, Ruby, Python and Perl applications.

In this article, learn to use ZK tools and Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) technologies to enhance your Asynchronous JavaScript + XML (Ajax) application development—without giving up client-side functions.
The ZK framework provides a variety of paradigms to develop Web applications. One the one hand it is always nice to have options, but on the other this can cause un-intentional paradigm disparities when several developers are using the framework to develop an application without a consistent design.
This article extends a sample application from the article "Rich Internet applications using ZK," and explains how to modify a real-world example using the ZK framework and its integration with powerful CDI services.
Nur ein einziges Dateiformat müssen Entwickler mit Zk 5 pflegen, um attraktive Oberflächen und Ajax-getriebene Rich Internet Applications zu bauen. Schluss mit separatem HTML, CSS und Javascript.
Over the past decade, Web applications have evolved from static HTML pages, to Dynamic HTML pages, to applets and Flash, and, finally, to Ajax technologies. Ajax systems will play an ever increasingly important role in future as the proliferation of complex Web Applications into our daily lives continues.
It's been a while since I've worked with the ZK programming language (or Rich Internet Application framework) so it was nice to get an opportunity to play around with the latest release. To ease myself back in gently I wrote a simple letter frequency analyzer to help with solving ciphers (note this post is not Informix-related for a change).
ZK is an AJAX toolkit designed to make creating user interfaces that run in a Web browser as simple as creating event-driven interfaces for desktop applications. The interfaces created with ZK use an XML markup language to define the user interface and Java code to implement the Web application's functionality. ZK includes support for data-bound controls so that you do not have to worry about updating the user interface forms when you change your Java objects.
ZK is a framework for building web applications. It was developed by Potix (www.potix.com) and distributed under both GNU and commercial licenses. The main idea behind ZK is to introduce event-handling programming—backed by an AJAX engine—to web applications. This lets you focus on designing forms and programming reactions on possible events. Low-level HTTP communication between the browser and server is therefore the exclusive duty of the framework.
In the discussion, I will explain why rich client frameworks in general, and ZK in particular, not only allow for more pleasing, powerful UIs, but aid in applying an “Agile” development methodology. The discussion is based on the real experience of my firm which has been programming business applications with both “32-bit” and traditional web GUIs for years, but over the last year has implemented a shift towards using a rich client approach, with extremely positive results.
This is part 1 of what will ultimately be a 3 part article describing an AJAX-based front end to an image database written in ZK - an event-driven component-based development framework. ZK can work well for GUI web applications as it provides a simple markup language to define the user interface and takes care of the AJAX synchronization behind the scenes.
