Hi,

Could you give a small example of such solution (like: "moving that
logic to a delayed execution such as a Model's getObject() method")?
Scott's use case would be a good starting point (pasted below). I
still don't know how to specify the component to pass to the add
method in the BasePage constructor. How would you change this to avoid
these "createXXXPanel()" calls (I hope you are not thinking about
calling add(...) methods in the RedPage constructor of course :))?

public BasePage(...) {
 add(createFooPanel("fooId"));
 add(createBarPanel("barId"));
}

protected abstract Panel createFooPanel(String id);
protected abstract Panel createFooPanel(String id);

-

public RedPage(...) extends BasePage {
 super(...);
}

@Override
protected Panel createFooPanel(String id) {
 // do not reference anything that is instantiation dependent
 return new RedFooPanel(id);
}

@Override
protected Panel createBarPanel(String id) {
 // do not reference anything that is instantiation dependent
 return new RedBarPanel(id);
}

The method just has to be stateless, particularly from the perspective
of instantiation.

public BasePage(...) {
  add(createFooPanel("fooId"));
  add(createBarPanel("barId"));
}

protected abstract Panel createFooPanel(String id);
protected abstract Panel createFooPanel(String id);

-

public RedPage(...) {
  super(...);
}

@Override
protected Panel createFooPanel(String id) {
  // do not reference anything that is instantiation dependent
  return new RedFooPanel(id);
}

@Override
protected Panel createBarPanel(String id) {
  // do not reference anything that is instantiation dependent

}

no Scott just told you that you should create such initializers completely
"static".
They should be 'static' without touching state of the current object/class
itself.

Re: What is the best way to create layouts in Wicket?

2008-04-29 Thread Martin Makundi
Are there such factory initializers in Wicket?

There is one, initModel(), but I have not yet evaluated if it is being
called on page repaint. I have had to implement my own intializer
methods for page repaints in evolved state.

In general programming with your brain shut down is bad practice. I
see a lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt about calling overridable
methods from a constructor. There is no need to if you engage your
brain.

The biggest problem is that components may not have their final
position in the page yet, so you can't call some methods. Guess what?
That isn't any different from calling those methods in the constructor
in the first place. And it is easily solved by moving that logic to a
delayed execution such as a Model's getObject() method. Which really
provides a better solution in the first place.

Re: What is the best way to create layouts in Wicket?

2008-04-28 Thread James Carman
So, how do you know that everything is good to go in the subclass
then?  You really shouldn't be calling a method implemented by the
subclass in the superclass' constructor.  In your case, it may work,
but in general, it's bad practice.

Re: What is the best way to create layouts in Wicket?

2008-04-28 Thread Scott Swank
I have done this by creating an abstract base page with an abstract
factory methods getFooPanel() or getBarPanel().  Then the base page
add()s the result of getFooPanel(), while the implementations supply
it.

Re: What is the best way to create layouts in Wicket?

2008-04-28 Thread Cristi Manole
To answer your second point :
->NO, at this point you cannot define multiple  anywhere.
Try using fragments or generic panels (i don't know which would be better
for you). Replace a generic panel with the specific panel you need.

Re: What is the best way to create layouts in Wicket?

2008-04-28 Thread Martin Makundi
Well, here you have an example of a panel:
http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t60926.html

It is reusable, so you can use it from anywhere, or decide not to use it.

Design one page which uses panels. Then change the panels according to
some session state, for example. Here is a trivial bad example:

public class MyChangingPage extends WebPage {
private static int pageReloadCount;

public MyChangingPage() {
   pageReloadCount++;

   boolean even = (pageReloadCount % 2) == 0;

   if (even) {
  add(new EvenPanel("panel_id"));
   } else {
  add(new OddPanel("panel_id"));
   }
  }
}



Ofcourse in real life a static counter is not what you want.

Could you or somebody else please provide some code?
I didn't understand your last sentence " Start with one hard coded layout
and then tune it using an internal
state, for example."

Thank you,

I would guess that it is better to use panels or fragments and instead
of using setXXX, just initialize everyting in its place according to
an internal state.

Start with one hard coded layout and then tune it using an internal
state, for example.

What is the best way to create layouts in Wicket?

2008-04-27 Thread Azzeddine Daddah
Hi there,

I'm new to Wicket trying to build my first application :).
I've already token a look at "Creating layouts using markup inheritance"
tutorial from the Wicket website, but still have some questions:
Suppose that I've a base page which I want that some of my pages inherits
the layout from it. What I want to do is to have some protected methods like
f.e. appendComponen(final Component comp, String position) and
setTitle(String title). The position string In the first method indicates
the position where the component in the page should be appended.

   1. How can I implement this?
   2. Is it possible to define multiple  in the base
   page?

Gr. Azzeddine
