[Sugar-devel] Using the DojoToolkit in a Sugar WebService ?

[laurent bernabe]

Apologizes, for POO in javascript, I did not want to talk about
encapsulation, but about fields visibilty (public/protected/private).
I've read the mozilla page link that Manuel gave me, but they don't talk
about that OOP feature.

And I know that a field declared with 'var' rather than 'this' is private,
but only visible in the function where it has been defined (commonly the
class constructor) : so it seems to me less flexible that Java approch. And
that is because I want to use a framework.

Unfortunately, Dojo ... is heavy in size (around 3Mb). And I can't afford
relying on this weight.
So I keep looking for a better solution.

Regards.
