70 +One notable difference in the ERPrototaculous and Ajax.framework is in the ajax responses.
71 +ERPrototaculous updates and actions break with "The WebObjects Way" by being pseudo-stateless.
72 +
73 +Instead of returning a new context, an ajax update or action is in fact the same.
74 +
75 +The reason returning a new context is not necessary is because a client never travels back or forwards through an ajax application unlike in a typical WebObjects app.
76 +Here the current state (or context) of the update or action is all that is necessary.
