Interface AJAXRenderer

All Known Implementing Classes:

EditRenderer, GPAsyncTaskResultsRenderer, MapRenderer, OverviewRenderer, PrintTaskRenderer, TaskRenderer, TocRenderer, ToolbarRenderer

public interface AJAXRenderer

The AJAXRenderer interface must be implemented by all classes that would like to render xml fragments as part of the AJAX response.

Once the class has been coded and the AJAXRenderer interface implemented, it needs to be registered in the WEB-INF/ajax-renderers.xml file for it to be used by the AJAXResponseRenderer
