Hi Phillip,

basically the website has many Categories that serve as a way of organizing the info in hierarchical way. Each Category can have its own Image Gallery.

Categories and Images are two tables in the database and I'm using hibernate to establish a bidirectional association between the two, where One category may contain many Images. (Still not sure if they want a Many to Many).

When I go to the ImageGallery page for a given Category I go to the database and grab the related images link and then I should either:

1. Generate thumbnails of those images and display the images onclick of the thumbnails without refreshing the page and without having previously loaded the big image itself

Looking in google for things that people have done so far and example on how i could approach the loading and so I came up with a couple of links of existing Image galleries, commercial and non commercial that I like and that use an Ajax like loading:

http://www.interaktonline.com/Company/Gallery/#content
http://www.zenphoto.org/zenphoto/page/1


Probably the best a approach would be creating a component that takes an array of image locations or some model as parameters so that people could use its own way to retrieve the image locations. Most image galleries I found out there open source force you to have a database and so.

Anyway tell me what you think, If your project has similar requirements and you want to join efforts, I'm up to it.

Best Regards.

Raul Raja.

I am not kidding, I was planning on starting just such a component this
weekend.  I had started one earlier, and my employer allows me to use any
open source components that I author on my own time... so I was going to
try to sneak some development in on this over the next couple of weekends.

I would be interested in hearing some of your requirements.

Thanks.



What were

Hi, I'm in the process of implementing a Tapestry Component that will
render an AJAX like Image Gallery, and I would like to know if somebody
has done something similar or this component already exists out there.

Thanks.

Raul.
