Hi all,
I realized that current UI implementation performs well but is not
completely async.
Let me explain if I I'm right.
We have two execution modes, ui and desktop.
UI
System will render everything as usual but custom YUI code will
be executed
to allow move, resize, place, etc. Windows.
The portlet creation is created in the jetspeed pipeline in
sequential mode like
in the static mode.
Client will hold until everything is created and rendered.
This is current and default render mode.
Desktop
Only basic html is sent to the client.
Ajax Toolkit initialization is sent and everything is handled
with javascript.
Client will start to see contents as soon as they are loaded.
This is obsolete and posibily will not work with new dojo
versiopns.
I suppose that best world is a mix of both were portlets are rendered
empty of content via
a <div> tag and ajax toolkit will take care of move, resize, place,
etc... And load contents
asyncronously...
This way page will get at least portlet configuration if something goes
wrong with ajax.
What do you think?
