TIBCO Software Inc. announced that it has become a sponsor of Direct Web Remoting (DWR), the popular Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) communications library. The DWR sponsorship addresses the immediate need of developers to easily expose Java Objects as Ajax services and extend the use of message and event-driven service-oriented architectures (SOA) beyond the bus and into the Web browser via real-time Ajax services.

TIBCO will work with DWR founder, Joe Walker, to provide ready-made integration points between DWR and TIBCO General Interface(TM), TIBCO's Ajax Rich Internet Application toolkit for creating rich graphical GUIs in a browser. Additionally, the collaboration will seek to extend DWR so that it can function as a Java Business Integration (JBI) standard service engine and be deployed on TIBCO ActiveMatrix(TM), the industry's first service virtualization platform. The complementary components of DWR and General Interface(TM) will ultimately enable businesses to expand their uses of message and event-based service-oriented architectures.

"We are excited to be working with TIBCO to push adoption of DWR further into the enterprise," said Joe Walker, DWR founder. "DWR has been a leading Ajax framework for some time but working with TIBCO will help take DWR further into the realm of full Ajax Rich Internet Applications being deployed alongside message and event-driven service platforms."

With substantial application modernization efforts underway and a continued trend towards SOA in business, the combined Ajax libraries of General Interface and DWR will provide capabilities that deliver rich user features such as editable grids, real-time events and notifications, and streaming data. By running on Internet technology rather than operating or runtime environment dependent technologies, businesses will experience much lower costs of ownership.

"DWR is a rapid way for Java developers to expose Java objects as simple Ajax services without the need for additional configuration or transformation. We have many customers already using DWR with the General Interface Ajax library," said Kevin Hakman, director product marketing, TIBCO General Interface. "With DWR's reverse Ajax capability, messages and events can be pushed from the server to the browser so that Web applications can also have real-time notification and streaming data features."
