Rich client technologies

While most channels produce XHTML directly, you can use rich client technologies for channels.

Examples include Swing via Java Applets, AJAX (the architecture Google uses for things like GMail and Google Maps), the Flash-based Open Laszlo, and the JavaScript-based Qooxdoo.

Pete Boysen has implemented a theme called DnDPreferences that uses drag and drop for setting preferences in AL. It uses a JavaScript toolkit by Walter Zorn.

Direct Web Remoting is supposed to enable you to remote Spring managed beans to JavaScript.

Anyone producing channels using rich client technologies?

I collected a bunch of links on our own instance of confluence on rich client technologies...
