[Gridsphere-users] Ajax with GS 3.0.8 does not work?

[Jason Novotny]

Hi Anand,

    I admit the AJAX support is somewhat brittle, it was a decent 
prototype but needs more hardening. It looks like you figured out how 
the tag converts it to an ajz request which the javascript can deal 
with. Now have a look at PortletLayoutEngine#service method. There is 
logic of the form "if (req.getParameter("ajax") != null) {"  that is 
probably where things could be going wrong for you...

    Cheers, Jason
