Kyzz: early bedtime I think |
| 02:30 |
|
Kyzz |
pdurbin: Don't blame you...had my last final but finishing up 12 or so quizzes left over from an online class |
| 02:30 |
|
Kyzz |
Then I'm moving home tomorrow for my internship |
| 02:38 |
|
Kyzz |
It's been a long week heh |

early bedtime turned into a nap. I should be sleeping |
| 08:29 |
|
pdurbin |
Kyzz: I forget if you told us about your internship |

Richard_2340985: maybe you should ask how people here would build that dashboard. |
| 14:58 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
ok, how can I build a form that can be changed dynamically? like a gui editor for a live-form |
| 14:58 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
in a dashboard it is similar, you can add and remove components: http://ostatic.com/files/images/article.png |
| 14:59 |
|
pdurbin |
I think in Drupal you can add and remove "blocks". |
| 14:59 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
yes, because lots of stuff is in their database |
| 15:02 |
|
pdurbin |
Richard_2340985: actually, do you know where you should ask? #opensourcedesign |
| 15:03 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
hm maybe... I was thinking if it is possible with jsf |
| 15:03 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
pdurbin: because when I just change html code, it is no problem |
| 15:06 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
pdurbin: maybe I just need a custom component, where I can render what I want and take input like I want |
| 15:08 |
|
pdurbin |
I'm sure *someone* could bang this out in JSF. :) |
| 15:09 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
I'm not so sure, because you have to redeploy stuff to the server, when you update classes |
| 15:09 |
|
pdurbin |
Richard_2340985: maybe show us the HTML code that's working: http://jsfiddle.net |
| 15:09 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
I guess OSGi could be a solution |
| 15:10 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
pdI guess what's working is |
| 15:10 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
pdurbin: when I just make parts invisible and blend them in |
| 15:11 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
pdurbin: http://webbausteine.de/blog/javascript/formularfelder_dynamisch.php |
| 15:14 |
|
pdurbin |
I'm not sure how OSGi has anything to do with this. |
| 15:17 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
because you can hot-deploy components? |
| 15:17 |
|
pdurbin |
oh. hmm. true |
| 15:18 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
so you could create new source code dynamically |
| 15:18 |
|
pdurbin |
I mean, Netbeans is build on top of OSGi. |
| 15:18 |
|
pdurbin |
built* |
| 15:18 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
and also glassfish |
| 15:18 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah |
| 15:18 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
but it would be too much to do this for many users |
| 15:19 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
a custom component could evaluate dynamically created form fields and serialise them |
| 15:20 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
but then I guess you don't have the container services |
| 15:21 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
no validation and stuff |
| 15:24 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
maybe it is possible to take existing components and send them an id |
| 15:24 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
because changing xhtml pages does not require a restart |
| 15:25 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
then you could look the whole answer up with that id |
| 15:25 |
|
pdurbin |
I think you can do basically anything with a custom JSF component. It's black magic to me though. |
| 15:26 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
I made a really simple one, to look how it works |
| 15:26 |
|
pdurbin |
oh. cool. is it open source? |
| 15:27 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
I just had a look at open examples |
| 15:27 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
there is one in the official documentation |
| 15:28 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/jsf-custom003.htm |
| 15:28 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
they also have a demo with the code |
| 15:30 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
I have not been able to use the content between tags though like <customtag>content</customtag> |
| 15:30 |
|
pdurbin |
ah |
| 15:30 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
only works for me with <customtag value="content"> |
| 15:30 |
|
aditsu |
about the dynamic form, I would (obviously) do it in wicket :) |
| 15:30 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
that is so wicket |
| 15:31 |
|
aditsu |
yes id is :) |
| 15:32 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
but how? |
| 15:32 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
I think you'd also have to make a custom component |
| 15:33 |
|
aditsu |
depends on how you want it to work... |
| 15:33 |
|
aditsu |
I'd probably have a repeater that uses a list of components |
| 15:33 |
|
aditsu |
and update that list |
| 15:34 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
I think that list is the jsf-component tree |
| 15:35 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
oh looks like it goes into this direction: http://blog.kennardconsulting.com/2010/10/safely-manipulating-component-tree-with.html |
| 15:35 |
|
aditsu |
I doubt wicket can use jsf components :p |
| 15:35 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
yeah, true... I guess I have to learn a bit more about jsf now... |
| 15:40 |
|
Richard_2340985 |
hm, do you know sth. about http://metawidget.org/ ? |
| 15:41 |
|
aditsu |
haven't heard of it |
