Jia - Servlets in JavaScript - Summary
This group is not part of the GNU Project.
Jia allows a web developer to combine JavaScript and XSLT to make servlets (and also allow a web designer to handle the XSLT part). The use of JavaScript means that updates to the page are instant (no delay as with JSP or Servlets), it also means that the code can be more flexible, and will not have as many syntactical errors as with Java because JavaScript is not type-checked. Presently, XSLT and JavaScript both work, but work is being to improve the JavaScript API (speed and capability-wise) as well as to introduce a JSP-1.0-like method to XML code generation. Future versions will also allow the servlets (but probably not the XSLT) to be compiled to class files. There should also be a Jia + Servlet Container that works out of the box soon.

Sorry, I've very busy lately. I received word that gnu would prefer that any packages using their namespace be gnu projects. I'll have some files up today (not in CVS, just web). The JavaScript API is done, but not yet integrated. The main packages are all under the jia namespace.

I have contacted GNU and asked them whether I can use the gnu package name for the project (this is not a GNU project). I will upload files once I hear from them. If you're interested in the project please feel free to contact me at geekandy {HYPHEN} jia {AT} yahoo {DOT} com.
