Oracle will make software contributions intended to boost AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and Java programming at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco next week.
The company will also announce intentions to contribute engineering resources to the open source Grails project. To bolster AJAX, Oracle will submit its AJAX render kit to the open source community as a follow-up to a previous donation of JavaServer Faces (JSF) components.
"It allows people to work with the JSF components but [they] can display that using AJAX technology, which basically allows them to [have] a much richer environment in the browser," said Ted Farrell, chief architect and vice president of tools and middleware at Oracle.
AJAX is viewed as the answer to building rich Internet applications but developers have had to learn JavaScript and DHTML, Farrell said. "What we've done is abstracted the developer from having to learn JavaScript and DHTML," he said.
Oracle's technology fits in with the vein of Web 2.0, providing for more interactive Web applications, Farrell said.
