Abstract
In order to achieve the ease of development and to facilitate the maintenance of codes for complex Ajax (Asynchronous Java Script and XML)-based web clients, this paper proposes a CVC (Communicator-View-Controller) architecture pattern by modifying the well-known MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework. By composing the Communicator of codes for asynchronous data retrieval, which is common to Ajax-based clients, the proposed architecture pattern is able to cut out the graphic design related codes to constitute the View layer. Based on such declarative generalization of complex web-client codes, Ajax-related codes can be easily modularized and efficiently reused in development and maintenance stages, and graphics design can be done separately regardless of the other business logic related codes development, resulting in highly efficient development and maintenance of complex Ajax-based web clients.
