Ideo Technologies is sponsoring open source projets issued by its R&D team. This is a way to share some really new technologies with the community.

SweetDEV RIA

SweetDEV RIA Open Source Edition is an Ajax widgets library. It helps developers to enhance the web interface of their applications and change significantly the user experience without coding any JavaScript.

JavaScript-Optimizer - JSO
JavaScript-Optimizer - JSO is a technical component designed to organize Web resources (JavaScript files, CSS) on the server side and to optimize (compression, merge and versioning) their delivery to the client’s browser.
To perform this, the following optimizations are performed : • Cache optimization : by adding a timestamp and headers informations, the caching resources is more efficient. • JavaScript files merging, minimizing, and refractoring, if possible. • CSS files merging and minimizing if possible. Through these 3 steps, the data transfered is significally reduced.

The resources managing is externalized in an XML descriptor, which make it really easier to maintain.

AjaxAnywhere

AjaxAnywhere is designed to turn any set of existing JSP or JSF components into AJAX aware components without complex JavaScript coding. In contrast to other solutions, AjaxAnywhere is not component-oriented. You will not find here yet another AutoComplete component. Simply separate your web page into multiple zones, and use AjaxAnywhere to refresh only those zones that needs to be updated.
