Developing highly-responsive user interfaces with DHTML and servlets
Abstract
Due to communication overhead and latency, Web-based user interfaces that rely exclusively on the server to refresh client screens suffer from poor performance. In this paper we show that implementation of the classic Model-View-Controller architecture on the client enables the client to refresh the screen in certain cases, and thus improves performance. This `dual-MVC' approach is discussed in the context of a sample Web-based application.
