Recommends the use of AJAX-based JavaServer™ Faces (JSF) technology rather than JavaScript Web technology.

Gives an overview of the JavaScript Web application approach in JViews Gantt.

Explains how the Gantt JavaScript Web application support uses the Java servlet technology to deliver information from a Gantt chart server-side application.

Provides an example to help you get started with JViews Gantt JavaScript Web application development.

Explains how to develop a server side JViews Gantt JavaScript Web application.

After creating the server side of your Gantt JavaScript ™ Web application, you create the client side. The Gantt JavaScript Web application support allows you to easily build a client based on JavaScript that runs on Web browsers that support JavaScript. You build an HTML Web page for the JavaScript client using predefined JavaScript™ components.

The JViews Gantt JavaScript Web application support gives you a simplified way to define new actions that should take place on the server side. For example, suppose you want to allow the user to change the name of an activity that appears on the generated image. Part of this action, clicking the image to select the activity, must be done on the client side. Changing the name of the activity in the Gantt data model must be done on the server side before a new image is generated. The notion of a “server-side action” exists to perform such behavior. An action is defined by a name and a set of string parameters.
