We covered a lot of ground in the previous chapter. The applications for two teams are ready to go. You learned how to integrate user interfaces via links and iframes. These are all valid integration methods, and they provide strong isolation. But they come with trade-offs in the areas of usability, performance, layout flexibility, accessibility, and search engine compatibility. In this chapter, we’ll look at fragment integration via Ajax to address these issues. We’ll also configure a shared web server to expose all applications through a single domain.
