Google web toolkit as modern ajax framework for development of rias.

Abstract

Google Web Toolkit is an Ajax based framework for development of interactive web pages – Rich Internet Applications. With additional libraries that add support for handling geographical data it allowed creating a user-friendly experience comparable to most popular web applications in the net. The main objective was to develop an application which allows publishing of spatial data over the web using modern technologies. The most important part was the map widget which should support full user interaction with presented data. The project’s implementation was split into several phases. Analysis of requirements and architecture gave detailed knowledge about the project itself and the tools needed. Prepared development environment and project’s structure was a signal that the implementation of actual features might get started. Displaying data on the map was the subsequent step after implementing the application’s business logic. The result of the process was a fully functional application, entirely compliant with placed requirements. Additionally, the documentation of the project was created to allow faster adaptation of the application to future needs. Developed solution offers great functionality in its category. The products offered by competitive companies were comparable or worse than the presented application.
