integrating openlayers with qooxdoo

[Burak Arslan-3]

all,

you may find, attached, a sample application that is the result of the
work we did in order to integrate openlayers into a qooxdoo application.

hope it saves someone's time. the package also includes openlayers
itself, that's why it's so big. i wanted it to be as self contained as
possible.

best regards,
burak

Hey Burak,

thanks for the contribution. Can you say a word about OpenLayers and
what you used it for?!

well, first thing i can say is that, just like any js library, it
duplicates lots of work that qooxdoo already does (oo javascript,
cross-browser code, minification, etc), sometimes poorly. i find
qooxdoo's oo features to be much better designed than openlayers' for
example. i wish there was an easy way to make it a native qooxdoo module.

the library delivers its promises. it is easy to integrate an existing
non-supported map engine, the TMS layer is quite easy to implement on
the server side. it supports multiple map backends, including popular
ones like google maps. so instead of using e.g. google maps api, one
could use openlayers to integrate google maps data to qooxdoo. this way,
you won't be stuck to one single map engine. (i don't think it supports
all of the gmaps api though)

the work to integrate ol and qx looks negligible for a qooxdoo
developer, but for a qooxdoo *user* who doesn't have to know, for
example, exactly when a qooxdoo widget materializes as divs, it was
surely educating :)

finally, we use it for showing vehicles on maps and getting spatial
input from the client.

i hope what i said overlaps with what you had in mind when you asked me
to talk about openlayers, thomas.

best regards,
burak
