“Direct Web Remoting (DWR) is a Java open source library for
those wanting to develop Web sites which contain Ajax. DWR enables
the Javascript in a browser to interact with Java on a server, just
as if it were in the browser. DWR encompasses two main components;
a Java Servlet running on the server that processes requests and
sends responses back to the browser, and JavaScript running in the
browser that sends requests and can dynamically update the Web
page. DWR development is sponsored by TIBCO.”
