I'd like to start a thread on that myself early Nov (after I get back
from vacation).

Well, your help is very appreciated. I would still like to rethink
our concept of tags, themes, and ajax support, but it isn't urgent,
and anything you can do to help us clean up our ajax tags in the
meantime would be great. Thanks for joining the fun :)

I'm not sure if that would be a good idea, the thing is that it would
add a set of dependencies that I don't think are desirable
(scriptaculous, prototype, overlib, etc), I don't see ajaxtags going
too far in the future if struts supports these simple ajax tags,
because most of its users are using struts anyway. If you guys decide
to keep the ajax tags I will work on them despite they are in
ajaxtags already. I think keeping thin wrappers over dojo's stuff is
a good idea.

Ok, sounds reasonable. I'm all for offloading the maintaining of
code to other projects when possible :)
Hmm...I wonder...could your work be improved to allow your tags to
be called from velocity and freemarker as well? Currently, IMO,
Struts has only half-hearted support for Ajax widgets and while
we've talked about a compressive strategy to tackle the problem, it
was never enacted upon.
I wonder if there is any way to link our projects better so that we
can eliminate the overlap.... Some way of delegating the actual
tags to you, but perhaps provide some advanced features that could
only be developed when you have control over the server
framework...I'm thinking of DWR or JSON views of Struts actions here...

It doesn't provide anything on top of Dojo right now, it is just a
wrapper. Even when it is available using dojo, it is really nice
when you get isolated from the js and just have to use a couple of
tags on your page. That's what ajaxtags does, wrappers around other
widgets(scriptaculous and family) and people are using it a lot.
Considering that we are using dojo anyway, and that it is almost
done (with not too much effort), I think we should keep it.

Ok, I guess my next question is does the tag provide anything
significant on top of Dojo? If we are a simple wrapper for Dojo,
it might not be worth continuing to support the tabbed pane tag.
What do you think?

Well, dojo's has some of nice things out of the box(they are just
hard to figure out given the amount of documentation), tabs can
placed on any of the sides, you can have close buttons on the
tabs, (either on the tab or on a corner, firefox-style), and they
look a lot better by default ;)
about WW-1371, I will have to check it out.
Don Brown wrote:
Cool! Any chance it fixes other tickets like WW-1371? Do you
think this should be a new tag or replace the existing? What
are the advantages of the new implementation?

I picked WW-205,
(https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-205) to start
playing with and I have replaced the tabbedpanel implementation
with dojo's implementation, so far I have the static and
dynamic tabs working. I was having so much fun that I didn't
stop to ask if this is what you guys want, although it is
suggested by Ian Roughley in the bug's comments.

The help would be appreciated. Take a look at the tag
documentation -
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Tag+Developers+Guide
- and look at the templates themselves in
core/src/main/resources/templates
There are several ajax-related issues in our JIRA right now,
so that would be a very helpful place to start. :)

Hi all,
I was checking out struts 2 yesterday (I'm a 1.2.7 user) and
I found that some of the UI tags(tree, tab panel...) overlap
with a project that I'm currently maintaining (ajaxtags at
http://ajaxtags.sourceforge.net/). I'd like to contribute to
the UI ajax tags, so some pointers on where to start or whom
to talk to would be appreciated. Ajaxtags is distributed
under an apache 2.0 license so we could lift some code if
needed.
thanks
musachy
