(SYS-CON Media) – With the ever growing popularity of the Prototype JavaScript library, software developer - and JDJ contributing editor - Jason Bell (pictured) has created an alpha release of a JSP Tag library on sourceforge.net.

Called "prototaglib" it enables JSP developers to create the required AJAX calls to the Prototype library. It's similar to the Ruby On Rails way of doing things. There's a screen cast available that shows a demo of the Flickr API being used via AJAX, the whole application web application is written in the Netbeans IDE in just over six minutes.

The taglib enables developers to create link or form based remote tags that call either servlet or jsp pages to populate the required div tags. There are also tags to update a div over a specific period of time.

Currently at an alpha release it is hoped that the community will aid in feedback and request features that can be worked on.
