Hello everyone, We've been playing with UiBinder and I thought it'd be a good idea to share what we've seen so far (and ask some questions).
Some of the apps we write are used by more then one hospital and this requires a tailored UI depending on the user's preferences and to store additional information that a particular hospital needs to keep track of. At the moment, writing UI in a swing style, we program to interfaces and use GIN to bind everything together. Using different AbstractGinModules and Ginjectors, we can tie the application together in different ways using different UI implementations. What would be the way to do this with UiBinder? From what we could tell, one would use UiTemplate, but there doesn't seem to be a way to configure the String in UiTemplate easily through a GIN module. Are there alternatives? Following the programming to interfaces theme, we've been doing that with UiBinder, but have run into an issue when trying to build a larger UI page out of smaller ui.xml classes. It seems that referring to interfaces in ui.xml doesn't work, so you need to work with direct concrete classes. But this would force you to use a particular implementation when we'd like to keep it generic. Lastly, I guess this is something just for consideration for the future, but having the GEP work with UiBinder would make using it a lot easier. For example, having code completion, refactoring support and error messages right in Eclipse. This would be something like the Spring IDE plugin that one you configure Spring XML files with all the above features. Thanks again for the UiBinder, we'll definitely have to spend more time with it.
