Component for opening/closing an arbitrary div layer in Wicket.

[RW]

In order to allow users to pick columns they wish to see in a table, we
open/close a div layer that has 2 selectors to move columns to/from
"Available" to "Selected" and a submit/cancel button. We also position
this div layer close to the "Pick Columns" link.

Is there a component in Wicket I can use to create a similar effect?
I've seen the ModalDialog but I'd like a slight variation because the
placement of this div layer needs to be controlled + the main window
need not be "greyed" out when showing the layer.

Thanks
Ravi.

Thanks. A few things are unclear to me...

1. How do wrap the link that when clicked opens the div with the palette in it?
2. How can I make this "reusable" so that the div can have something other than the palette?
3. We have the javascript to intelligently place the div close to the link. How and where do I call this script?

BTW, on the previous link you can see the "My Tasks" section for what I'm trying to achieve with the "Multiple Item Action" using an Ajax enabled pulldown. The behavior is similar except that the div contents are a bunch of links fetched using Ajax.

Thanks
Ravi.

Hey Ravi, just out of curiosity, is the application you provided a link for written in wicket?

i have something similar to this in my project. basically what it is is a border that has an anchor tag and a div inside of it. the border:body tag is inside this div. the div has the necessary styles (position:absolute, etc). the border component implements iheadercontributor and through that writes out the necessary javascript to connect the anchor tag with the div.

how to use it, simple. you add the border anywhere in your markup, and to it you add a panel/fragment which will appear in the initially hidden div. and you are done, nothing more to it it is totally reusable anywhere. i am leaving on vacation tomorrow, maybe when i get back i will contribute it to wicket-minis, unless you beat me to it :)

It is currently written using a combination of Struts1, WebMacro (templating engine like Velocity), Torque etc. Due to the lack of user interface components in these tools we had to develop a lot of that ourselves. We are evaluating if we can do away with our code with Wicket or if Wicket can at least assist in simplifying our efforts. Besides, how easy and how long will it take to move to Wicket. As our efforts are commercial, we will be heavily penalized for making the wrong choice.

Ravi,

I'd be interested in hearing your out come of your evaluation.  I'm in a
similar boat where my company is looking to move to a new UI framework,
their first choice or course is JSF and I'm pushing hard to go the wicket
route instead.  If I can show them a website like yours and say that it was
fairly easy to develop using wicket and you don't need to learn a whole new
markup language, ie tablibs, then that just might be the nail in the coffin
I need.

Thanks
Craig

Craig,

It's been just over 2 weeks since I've started looking at Wicket. In the past I've had to abandon evaluation of JSF and Struts 2 due to lack of time. I was spending a lot of time writing code to decide if they were the right choice. I could not find "applications" written from where you could learn best practices. There are mostly individual examples for data validation, Ajax, tree table and other such commonly needed components which is good but insufficient. All new frameworks provide all these features so that is no longer the distinguishing factor.

In commercial ventures such as mine, I'm expected to demonstrate that any new technology...

1. Will reduce our overheads by providing many out-of-box features that we've had to develop and maintain. Basically I should spend 90% of my time on the core application features and only 10% on enhancing the framework because of special requirements within my application.

2. Developers for which can be either be hired or trained easily and most importantly can be *average*. This means having lot of documentation and not having to go through source code to understand how things work.

3. Is stable (production quality) and its future is bright.

So far Wicket looks promising. But it is too early. A PetStore/PetClinic app would have been useful (I am not aware if one exists).

Ravi,

I'd be interested in hearing your out come of your evaluation.  I'm in a
similar boat where my company is looking to move to a new UI framework,
their first choice or course is JSF and I'm pushing hard to go the wicket
route instead.  If I can show them a website like yours and say that it was
fairly easy to develop using wicket and you don't need to learn a whole new
markup language, ie tablibs, then that just might be the nail in the coffin
I need.

Thanks
Craig

It is currently written using a combination of Struts1, WebMacro
(templating engine like Velocity), Torque etc. Due to the lack of user
interface components in these tools we had to develop a lot of that
ourselves. We are evaluating if we can do away with our code with
Wicket or if Wicket can at least assist in simplifying our efforts.
Besides, how easy and how long will it take to move to Wicket. As our
efforts are commercial, we will be heavily penalized for making the
wrong choice.

Is there a component in Wicket I can use to create a similar effect? 
I've seen the ModalDialog but I'd like a slight variation because the

need not be "greyed" out when showing the layer.

[Martijn Dashorst]

Did you look at the phonebook example (found in the wicketstuff repository)?

It shows how to build a (simple) phone book web application using
wicket, spring and (hibernate|ibatis|shades)

It is basically a petstore, but a bit simpler
