DWR 2.0 Release Candidate 1

JavaScript Proxy API

DWR can dynamically generate JavaScript from a Java API. This is done at runtime rather than 
compile time, so we can use it to remote control many browsers. This makes it very easy to 
write things like chat applications, or anything particularly dynamic. Messages are sent to 
clients using Reverse Ajax.


Reverse Ajax

DWR supports 3 ways to asynchronously transfer messages from the server to the browser: Comet 
(long-lived HTTP connections), Polling and Piggyback. Of these Comet and Polling are active 
(fast but require extra network traffic) and Piggyback is passive (slower but doesn't need 
extra network traffic). DWR automatically selects the best method transparently to the 
programmer.


Security

Two of the the biggest generic dangers to ajax applications today arr Cross-Site Scripting 
(XSS), which most people are aware of, and the new tool in the hack-box: Cross-Site Request 
Forgery (CSRF). DWR helps you protect your site against these attacks by providing automatic 
protection against CSRF attacks for many configurations, and by defaulting to a mode where XSS 
attacks are reduced.

Check back here soon for more on CSRF and how to protect yourself against it.
