Walk through the steps of incorporating OpenID into a sample Java application. Rather than implement the OpenID Authentication specification by hand, author J. Steven Perry uses the openid4java library and a popular OpenID provider, myOpenID, to create a safe and reliable registration process for a Java application written in Wicket.

The introduction of the Google App Engine saw a wave of frameworks emerge to facilitate developing applications targeted for it. The Gaelyk framework, one such framework written in Groovy, eases development of lightweight applications that leverage a datastore. And the scalability you can achieve is impressive.

This article give you a hands-on introduction to developing for and deploying on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Learn how EC2 differs from Google App Engine, and leverage an Eclipse plug-in and the concise Groovy language to get a simple Web application up and running quickly on EC2.

GMaps4JSF, a JavaServer Faces (JSF) mashup library, integrates Google Maps with JSF. Using GMaps4JSF, you can construct complex street view panoramas and maps with just a few JSF tags. This article explains how to configure GMaps4JSF inside JSF 2.0 applications, and includes a brief introduction to JSF 2.0 Ajax.

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) applications, apart from connecting to servlets in time-honored Java fashion, can also use PHP Web services to send and receive data in XML. You'll explore methods to generate XML documents and process them, both in the Java language and in PHP. This article examines a simple GWT application and a couple of PHP Web services that consume XML documents.

In this article, learn how to build a social network with Google Maps, Twitter, Groovy, and Ajax. By combining a Google Map with location information that Twitter exposes, you can create a mashup that allows people to view Twitter in light of a particular location. The simple application this article builds with open APIs, and a bit of imagination, will open yourself up to a whole new world of social applications development. The possibilities are endless. The rest is up to you.

In the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) test case demonstrated in this article, you'll take the steps to verifying that an Ajax application runs as it should. It shows how the GWT actually leverages its Java compatibility to make Ajax applications every bit as testable as their synchronous counterparts. You will learn by example, that the key to testing GWT applications is to design the application with testing in mind.

The big differences between the Google Web Toolkit and the Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) are that GWT is running on the client vs. RAP, which is mainly running on the server. RAP allows developers to build browser-based Ajax applications using full Java libraries and Eclipse APIs. It does so by providing a Web-enabled implementation of SWT, JFace, and the Eclipse Workbench. Does this make it better than the GWT? look at this article, which shows you some demos, and concludes with some simple-to-understand RAP examples, then decide for yourself.
