java ajax dwr

I've been a big of DWR (www.directwebremoting.org) in the past and have used it on a few projects. It makes AJAX easy by creating javascript proxy / stubs to java classes on the server.

While DWR has been around for years it seems to have slowed down ever since the main developer moved on - it's also quite large compared to it's early days.

As far as the need for a simply java to javascript proxying/marshelling (essentially abstract the lower level AJAX stuff) - can anyone recommend an alternative? All I have found is RAJAX but that is quite dated as well.

Thanks!!

I'm using DWR for more than 3 years, I agree that there are no new development happening at DWR, But I feel DWR serves most of my needs like easy AJAX, Nice integration with Spring, Acegi, and Spring Security, Reverse AJAX, and Stable. So I don't see a reason to start looking for an alternative unless I needed something which is missing.
