[TYPO3-dev] AJAX Server for TYPO3 - sketch

[Jean-Baptiste Rio]

If i understand well, nothing until march and the availibity of Ingo ? 
Or is it possible to discuss the aims / objectives / goals of an AJAX 
integration ?

IMHO we have to split the project in two main parts : FE and BE. The 
goals are clearly different and a whole project may confusing everybody.

I have no ideas for BE integration (even if i can see what the use can 
be) but i have a lot of interest for FE part. The main difficulty is to 
define what we provide to typo3 community :
- a service offering high-level PHP functions API but no end-user 
functions ?
- a general Typo3 extension offering several plugins, each one being an 
AJAX component ?
- a new Typo3 Content, which is an Ajax Container ?
- a addendum to Typoscript language allowing people to declare 10 = 
AJAX_OBJ ... ?

For the moment, i've developped an experimental extension based on 
AjaxRequest.js which is a simple javascript library, easy to use and to 
manage. It is a FE plugin which displays a master-detail table based on 
a Typo3 database table. All is internal to Typo3. The AJAX request is 
managed by a Typo3 page which has specific typoscript template answering 
to the request. I plan to extend the plugin to add configuration so that 
users can define the table as a GPVar. At the moment, the select 
typoscript parameters (begin, max, limit, andWhere) are managed by the 
plugin as GPVar's. My goal is clearly a end-user "business" component 
and not a service for programmers. So is it the way you want to work ?
