Ok, I went through it & i feel the dojo/prototype way of integration is going to last....The reason a java to javascript is always going to have constraints......The direction wicket is going about this relies on 'javascript insertion' by pulling it out of a component where in it is safe from the developers hands and being 'buggy'. This way is kind-of javascript to java i.e. leverage on existing javascript....write correct javascript once and use time and again by injecting it!
Well while i was thinking in this direction, i wanted to know if there is Java in wicket which encapsulates dom object functions( for example: window. alert()Displays an alert box with a message and an OK button blur()Removes focus from the current window clearInterval()Cancels a timeout set with setInterval() clearTimeout()Cancels a timeout set with setTimeout() close()Closes the current window confirm()Displays a dialog box with a message and an OK and a Cancel button createPopup()Creates a pop-up window focus()Sets focus to the current window moveBy()Moves a window relative to its current position moveTo()Moves a window to the specified position open()Opens a new browser window print()Prints the contents of the current window prompt()Displays a dialog box that prompts the user for input resizeBy()Resizes a window by the specified pixels resizeTo()Resizes a window to the specified width and height scrollBy()Scrolls the content by the specified number of pixels scrollTo()Scrolls the content to the specified coordinates setInterval()Evaluates an expression at specified intervals setTimeout() For example if a java component which could bind setInterval() and clearInterval() to manipulation of some component body on client side itself in a timed fashion........I know i can write my own component to do it, but i could write my own components then for almost everything ....May be somthing like it exists in wicket already, i don't know of ...
