Tapestry and Dojo: The Peanut Butter and Jelly of the Ajax World
Dojo is an open source JavaScript library that provides an improved programming model for JavaScript and a suite of client-side tools and widgets. Tapestry is an innovative open source client-side Java framework for building componentized web applications. At first glance, these two look like the Odd Couple, but pull back the covers a bit and you'll many simularaties that make them a cinch to put together. Tapestry 4.1 with Dojo brings about client-side Ajax joy without server-side Java pain.
