I just thought I would announce an update to my JSP tags that target the MS Ajax client in JSP apps.

The big announcement is that I have an UpdatePanel!  I'm not sure any of the other (non-.NET-based) libraries like this have an UpdatePanel.  I know that the ColdFusion one that targets .NET does have an UpdatePanel (but in my mind that's .NET code... but maybe I'm wrong).

I also have an UpdatePanelProgress tag as well.  The promise is that with the way my UpdatePanel (not the standard MS one) is implemented I should be able to make many (if not all) of the other UpdatePanelProgress controls work.

Anyway, I'll be bringing up my personal site sometime soon, and I plan on doing a lengthy article on how to build an UpdatePanel.

One more thing, because I implemented these tags the way that I have it shouldn't be that hard to get them to work in other languages (do I hear ASP.NET 1.1 anyone?)
