Proposal Title: '''Right Click Menu component for Apache Tapestry5 java web 
application framework'''

Student Name: Dragan Shahpaski

Student E-mail: [email protected]

Organization/Project: The Apache Software Foundation / Tapestry 5

Assigned Mentor:

'''Proposal Abstract:'''
This project will produce a generic and powerfull Right Click Menu (also known 
as Context Menu) component for Tapestry5.
The Right Click Menu component is meant to be highly configurable, can be used 
along tapestry5 existing components or as standalone component.
The component is meant to be integrated within the tapestry5 framework or as a 
standalone library.
 
'''Detailed Description:'''
The first goal (or deliverable) will be providing the Right Click Menu 
component as a mixin for t5 components. The menu options will contain pairs of 
labels and t5 links which are ordinary links or event links (able to update a 
zone for example), that will be configured with some kind of Right Click Menu 
model interface. The clicks will be processed as t5 events produced for example 
from an event link. Also it is intended that advanced usage scenarios for 
enterprise applications are considered like for example having all the options 
for all the menus in one application in a database and producing them in some 
generic manner. 

The second goal is to provide integration with the all mighty t5 grid 
component, so that we can have right click options in the grid cells and rows 
with possibly different options for each cell/row. This means that in a grid 
with 20 cells, 20 javascript instances of the client side component may exist. 
To avoid bloating the page with many instances of the component possibly not 
used at all, look at the third goal.

The third goal is to provide ajax behavior for the menu's options (label/link 
pairs) i.e. clicking the component will produce a waiting.. or similar menu 
that is refreshed with the actual menu contents with ajax update from the 
server. This can help cases of components with too many menus, like for example 
loops or grids (see the second goal).

The fourth goal is to provide the component as a standalone t5 component if 
needed (optional and may be discussed with the community).

The fifth goal is to examine the possible usage scenarios of the component and 
make the usage of the component as trivial as possible.

'''Additional Information:'''
I intend to provide detailed documentation about the component (or mixin), demo 
examples of most common usage scenarios and maybe one video tutorial.
