Do we still need other framewoek while use ExtJs?

[ajaxE]

Hi,

I found if we use ExtJs, data can get by initiating an Ajax call. It seems everything can be done that way. No other framework is needed. Only that the navigation is using *.jsp. We'll need a URL resolver.

Do you have any recommendation in what framework that best work with ExtJs if I have to choose one? Strips? Spring? Struts2, JSF?

Also it seems the way ExtJs won't allow google search to hit the page. Any solution in this?

Thanks for your help in advance!

well, my opinion is that ExtJS is absolutely enough as a client framework/library, but sometimes maybe we also need the serverside framework such as DWR, JSON-RPC, etc. what do you think about?:)

Also it seems the way ExtJs won't allow google search to hit the page. Any solution in this?This is a common thing for every JS framework, not just Ext. Anything that's written in Javascript won't be indexed by any search engine. If you're looking for that you'll need to figure out something a bit more "old school" HTML.

As far as I can see, you shouldn't need any other framework unless there's a feature that it has that's lacking in Ext. If there is you can always try to write it yourself, but I know this can be pretty hard sometimes.

Thanks for your reply. I agree that we may need third party Json libary. I don't think you need DWR:-)

But how do you guys manage the URLResolver? You build your own or do we need to utilize the Spring?

Thanks for your reply and share your view! What do you mean "old school" HTML here? Do you mean I can put the text in the hidden <div> tag so that they can be reached by the search engine? I think like Google Search, it may ignore Meta data anyway.

It really annoys the hell out of Google (and the others). What I meant by old school HTML was making a HTML page that is actual HTML, not markup produced by Ext or any other framework.
