Google Just Made Their Ajax Toolkit Open source.
The GWT team always seemed open to the idea of making their Ajax toolkit open source. In fact it sounded like that was an eventuality with the only reason for not doing it initially being that they wanted things fairly solid first. Well, they’ve finally done it.
This is good news for GWT developers. While Greg Wilkins and I were working on getting Jetty Continuations working with GWT ,changes had to be made to GWT code We were somewhat concerned about this since we weren’t certain how receptive the GWT team would be to outside changes. Although I’m sure we could have worked with the GWT team to get things working there was no indication that they welcomed this sort of thing. Making the toolkit open source is a welcome mat for contributions like this.
Thanks GWT. Stay tuned for some info scaling GWT Ajax communications with Jetty Continuations.
