The new AJAX transport provides a dual type autoselecting interface to your
application servers from web clients.
It accepts HTTP type requests with a payload that can be XML (kbmMW's XML
format) or other data (for example JSON as the AJAX demo shows).
The new HTTP service makes the application server act like a webserver
understanding POST/GET/HEAD etc.HTTP operations.
It is, out of the box, able to serve files (html etc.) directly to the
browser, but
also supports adding custom code producing the output to the browser.
Read more about it in the history.txt file.
Please be aware that this update is available for all current kbmMW
v.2.5x/2.6x customers free of charge, but that subsequent updates are
subject to participation in the SAU (Support and Update) subscription
