- * JavaScript test suite
+ * JavaScript test suite for ThriftTest.thrift. These tests
+ * will run against Normal (-gen js) and jQuery (-gen js:jquery)
+ * Apache Thrift interfaces.
+ *
+ * Synchronous blocking calls should be identical in both 
+ * Normal and jQuery interfaces. All synchronous tests belong
+ * here.
+ * 
+ * Asynchronous sucess callbacks passed as the last parameter 
+ * of an RPC call should be identical in both Normal and jQuery
+ * interfaces. Async success tests belong here.
+ * 
+ * Asynchronous exception processing is different in Normal
+ * and jQuery interfaces. Such tests belong in the test-nojq.js
+ * or test-jq.js files respectively. jQuery specific XHR object
+ * tests also belong in test-jq.js. Do not create any jQuery 
+ * dependencies in this file or in test-nojq.js
+ *
+ * To compile client code for this test use:
+ *      $ thrift -gen js ThriftTest.thrift
+ *      -- or --
+ *      $ thrift -gen js:jquery ThriftTest.thrift
+ *
+ * See also:
+ * ++ test-nojq.js for "-gen js" only tests  
+ * ++ test-jq.js for "-gen js:jquery" only tests
