Not really AFAIK: The ability to not have to manage fetch depths that JDO/DB40 gives you over raw DB40 gives you is a massive productivity boost (not sure if the latest DB40 supports lazy loading or not yet). This is OT, but I feel it needs some correction. DB4O has had transparent activation (automatic loading of references if/ when needed) and transparent persistence (automatic update depth) for a while now. You byte code can even be automatically instrumented with TA/TP (but note code injection doesn't work with Scala, so we hand-code a few base relationship classes with TA instead). You are missing out on the main goal of DB4O: simplicity - the ability to store and query POJOs with zero configuration, even POJOs from other database-unaware APIs. You are also missing out on advantages like automatic schema updates, DB4O's own unique ID system, and other very useful parts of the DB4O API. In any case coding to a standard persistence interface (JDO) over a proprietary API is IMHO an insurance policy I can understand that, and I think that way too in some situations, but I reject the notion that there is no price to pay. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org

Re: announcing Granite - a Wicket-Scala-DB4O web application stack
You could still have couchdb as a database, and also there is the beginnings of an object store layer tucked away in an experimental API, but I think we will stick with DB4O for the primary database. Once you see the ease with which you can store use DB4O, you will see why eg (in Scala sorry): // define a class class C(var x:String), var y:Int) // store an instance db.store(new C(hi, 123)) // find all instances of C in the database val query = Query[C] query in db Cheers, Sam.

I suspect this is essentially what the Neodatis object database does (http://www.neodatis.org/), plus some trimmings such as OIDs and transactions, and making sure multiple copies of the same object are not saved. The tricky part is controlling the depth of the reference graphs that are saved/restored. DB4O has much more control over such things, such as being able to configure 'activation' depth, and also the option of instrumentation to activate references as required (transparent activation) or even persist automatically based on object changes (transparent persistence).

Hi Antony,
great to see Scala and Wicket getting more popular. :-)
I've been using them together quite a while now and am convinced that

lots of benefits in it!
I created a dynamic component (like wicket:component which isn't
officially

is
similar to your Fodel. You'll find the sources here:
http://www.footprint.de/fcc/2008/11/some-wicket-scala/
I also use Scala's mixin capabilities to abstract layout information
out of the
pages/components. E.g. to define cell styles of datatable columns or
to format
cell output, I have something like:
trait Centered[T] extends IStyledColumn[T] {
abstract override def getCssClass: String = {
val style = super.getCssClass
if( style==null ) columnCentered
else style + + columnCentered
}
}
trait DateFormat[T] extends PropertyColumn[T] {
override protected def createLabelModel( embeddedModel:
IModel[T] ):
IModel[_] = {
val m = super.createLabelModel( embeddedModel ) m.getObject match
{
case dt: DateTime =
VarModel( dt.toString( dateFormatter.withLocale( getLocale ) ) )
case _ = m
}
}
}
To create/apply a cell to use this style I just have to apply this
trait:
val col1 = new PropertyColumn[M]( new Model( Date ), COL_DATE,
reg_date )
with Centered[M] with DateFormat[M]
Scala's just great to abstract more between logic and layout.

Re: best or common practice for application plug-ins
Thanks Olger, that gives me some ideas. I wonder if a maven could somehow be coerced to do the dependency/downloading part, perhaps with some new plugin. On Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:39:10 +0200, Olger Warnier wrote: Hi Sam, How we do it with that service: We have a file listener class that checks if OSGI based jar files are put in a directory. If so, these are automatically deployed to the OSGI runtime by the BundleDeployer class. We miss a download / version updates part, but you could add that by downloading to the directory specfified by the FileListener. There is no need to restart, OSGI updates the whole automatically (we use embedded felix for this). Something to keep in mind, be careful with the OSGI versioning in this as that puts versions next to eachother. This is used to provide custom, for our project - wicket based, user interface functionality.

best or common practice for application plug-ins
I'm probably revealing my inexperience with J2EE environments in asking this, but how do Wicket programmers typically handle application add- ons (or plug-ins or modules). I'm interested in emulating what happens in the Zope/Plone world (which is where I've come from). In the case of Zope, you have a tool called 'buildout' and configuration file (buildout.cfg) where you can, among other things, tell buildout what modules/plug-ins you want to install. You then run the buildout script, which will take care of finding dependencies, downloading your modules and dependencies and installing them into the right place. Then the next time you run Zope, those modules are available. Buildout used in this way is a tool used by sys admins after you have deployed your Zope instance. A concrete example might be to add LDAP authentication to Zope - this would involve using buildout to install the correct modules, and then going into Zope and configuring the LDAP components. I know it sounds very much like maven, and perhaps maven can be used in this way. But generally I have considered maven to be a developer tool - at least that is how I use it. In my current case, I have created a web application framework built using Wicket. I want to have a core component and the add-ons/plug-ins such as LDAP authentication, CMS components, etc. that can be installed easily into a generic Granite deployment. Does that makes sense? How have Wicket people approached this? Buidlout can also build and install modules you are developing, as well as configure parts of Zope (such as the timezone). Sometime you just use buildout to upgrade your modules. I'm interested in approaches that encompass that as well. I'm not to fussed about having to restart the server. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org

We are using Scala and Wicket intensively (and the DB4O object database
as well). One thing we are working on is Wicket form generation, which
touches on ideas that are similar to those you have discussed.
This is what we can do today: consider this domain class:
class MyRectangle(var width:Int, var height:Int) extends Serializable {
def area:Double = width*height
}
we can then do:
class MyRectangleSchema extends SimpleFieldsSchema[MyRectangle](
ReadWriteFieldSchema(width, _.width, _.width = _:Int),
ReadWriteFieldSchema(height, _.height, _.height = _:Int),
ReadOnlyFieldSchema(area, _.area)
)
Above we are defining the accessors and mutators for each field except
the last which just has an accessor. We could probably use introspection
to make this much more succinct, and will likely provide this as an
option at some stage. As you see we don't use the JavaBeans conventions
as we find they are not very scala-ish, and so fully automatic
introspection is problematic.
Creating a rectangle and schema first:
val rectangle = new MyRectangle(width, height)
val schema = new MyRectangleSchema()
we use a 'builder' object to create Wicket components:
val builder = new ViewBuilder { }
We can then create a simple 'view' thus:
builder.createView(panel1, schema, rectangle)
and a simple form like this:
builder.createFormView(panel2, schema, rectangle,
new Button(submit) {
override def onSubmit = // .. do something ...
}
)
Note that the above is completely type-safe. You can also mix and match
fields from different schemas, and create schemas for aggregate objects
by embedding (sub-)schemas inside other schemas. Builders can be
overridden to provider custom components for any fields that need them.
This part of the project is still half-formed and fairly raw and
undocumented. Really only text fields are catered for. The javadoc is

Re: Wicket-Scala extensions
Done. Here is the code: http://uniscala.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/uniscala/trunk/ The overall aim of the project is to produce a web framework like Zope but for Scala instead of Python. That framework is in the 'unsicala- granite' module. The parts I was discussing were in the modules 'uniscala- view' and 'uniscala-view-wicket'. The 'uniscala-wicket' module currently just has an implicit model and is not that interesting (yet). There is also an example identity management application in its infancy in 'uniscala-topaz' - this uses the 'views' modules so might be a good place to look to see it in action. Not much doco yet - it will be a bit like walking into someone's laboratory and trying to guess what experiments they were doing. Some modules are purely experimental/playing. It's pre- alpha - I make no apologies :-) Cheers, Sam. On Tue, 14 Jul 2009 03:09:54 +, Sam Stainsby wrote: No problem. I'll let you know when its available.
