Walmart using DWR

It appears that Walmart have started using DWR, which is cool. It's not a total re-design around DWR, but one of the cool things about DWR has always been how well it has integrated with what you've already got.

Lots of the pages like this camera page have Quick View links that pop-up a dialog with more details, fetched asynchronously using DWR.

Does anyone know any of the developers of this feature, who could find out how implementation went?

Since (judging by their URLs), they use Struts 1.x as their webapp framework, it would be interesting to know if they used DWR's struts form-bean integration at all, or just interfaced DWR with existing POJOs or other non-struts wrapped classes. Judging from the HTML of the linked page, I am guessing the latter, but it would be interesting to get this as a case study of dropping DWR into a large existing commerce application.

Also i've noticed they use .gsp pages. Perhaps they have integrated dwr + struts + GRAILS ???

DWR is getting better and better. I'm love in it :)
