Hello, We're happy to announce that we've just performed the first commit to the Apache Shindig project, contributing Gadget Container JavaScript and Gadget Server Java code.
For some high-level context on this, read the related post<http://opensocialapis.blogspot.com/2007/12/lets-get-this-shindig-started.html>at the OpenSocial Blog. In addition, the initial commit comment - copied below - provides finer-grained detail on what's just been contributed. We expect to continue to flesh out the code and submit a load of features in the upcoming weeks. We're excited to take this first step, and hope you are too. We're looking forward to keeping the pace of change high in the upcoming weeks and months. Best, John (on behalf of a bunch of people) [commit description follows] Initial commit of Shindig Gadget Container JavaScript and Gadget Server. Includes: - Gadget Container JavaScript. Code embedded into an arbitrary web page enabling it to render and manage Gadgets. - Support for rendering using gmodules.com or a Shindig Gadget Server - Basic IFPC (gadget <-> container communication) support via inclusion of Google IFPC library - Simple layout management: render in DIV (StaticLayoutManager); render multiple Gadgets left-aligned in DIV (FloatLeftLayoutManager) - UserPrefs support through JS interface - Cookie-based UserPrefs implementation - _IG_SetTitle container-side support - _IG_AdjustIframeHeight container-side support - Sample pages demonstrating all the above functionality - Gadget Server (written in Java). Web server that processes Gadget requests, parsing their spec XML, processing it through a workflow of core and extension (<Require>/<Optional>) Features, and serializing output for rendering the Gadget to the end user. - Core server implementation constructing processing workflows out of GadgetFeature objects providing various feature support - GadgetFeature interface providing core extensibility mechanism for the Gadgets platform; extenders implement GadgetFeature and register their implementation with GadgetFeatureRegistry - Gadget spec XML parser - Simple caching API with in-memory Map-based implementations as samples - Remote content (eg. HTTP) fetcher interface - Basic java.net-based RemoteContentFetcher implementation - "Hangman" variable substitution support (eg. __MSG_foo__), including BIDI, MSG (message bundles) and UP (user prefs) type variables - Early JavaScript-based Feature support through JsLibrary* classes - Content proxy including JSON support - A handful of tests for various Server components. - Maven build support. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Implementing OpenSocial Containers" group.
