Hmm.. dynamic UI or several modules ... is this a false dichotomy?
I'm working on a forms package that generates a client UI dynamically.
Here's an example:
public class DemoForm extends Form {
public DemoForm() {
setTitle("Demo Form");
}
@FormField(label = "Name", required = true, order = 1)
@CharField(maxLength = 50)
private String name;
@FormField(label = "Address 1", order = 2)
@CharField(maxLength = 50)
private String address1;
@FormField(label = "Address 2", order = 3)
@CharField(maxLength = 50)
private String address2;
@FormField(label = "E-mail", order = 4, required = true)
@EmailField()
private String email;
@FormField(label = "Verify E-mail", order = 5, required = true)
@EmailField()
private String verifyEmail;
@FormField(label = "Phone", required = true, order = 6)
@PhoneField()
private String phone;
@FormField(label = "Phone 2", order = 7)
@PhoneField()
private String phone2;
@FormField(label = "A Date", order = 8)
@DateField()
private String date;
}
You can probably see where this is going. The first issue I ran into
was how to make these annotations (or something that represents them)
available to the client side of the application. I guess my choices
are
1- Generators to process annotations during compile to JS
2- Process the annotations on the server side, and pass a POJO that
represents the form to some client side form rendering routine.
I opted for #2. I imagine you face a pretty similar issue.
