Javascript Compilation?

I've been messing around with some reflection methods to accommodate more dynamic communication between javascript and web services. The web services do more of a pass through to a DAL/BAL layer for further processing. In order to do some server side help for our javascript / EdgeML (form markup) to work, we are attempting a semi-compiler style approach to lessen the blow on the client system. Meaning, we have integrated some server tags in our EdgeML to reduce web service calls later.


This only works for items that are more static since we cache several bits, but no one can complain when we can reduce the number of web service calls in half. Overall, it's a very fun and interesting implementation. Sometimes it even feels like we are near the cutting edge ;)
