dynamic crumb trail

2010-09-22 Thread Luther Baker
I have a default template page that contains a ul implementation of a
crumb trail. Therefore, the base class template has both the open and close
tags of the list element. A few links in the crumb trail are manage by the
template class - but I'd like to be able to add a few from the child pages.

I've tried passing a list of 'response' Pages and labels from the child to
the parent but some of the page need to be instantiated and passed arguments
and I end up instantiating response pages before the user ever clicks on a
link.

Can someone chime in with a more elegant approach to this? I feel like I'm
going down a rabbit hole. I guess I could simply create a panel - but then
I'd need to get links from two places ...

Thanks,
-Luther


Error integrating with Hibernate and Spring

I'm sure I'm doing something incorrectly. For the most part, I copied
the Spring config file from

can't find where the listener type [wicketApplication] is

JNDI and mvn test

2009-12-07 Thread Luther Baker
I'm executing the standard Wicket maven archetype's test target and it is
having trouble finding my JNDI datasource.

*mvn jetty:run* works just fine but when I execute the *mvn test* target
from within m2eclipse, I get a huge stracktrace with the following excerpt:

Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException; remaining name
'jdbc/ds'

My pom references a jetty-env.xml file which includes the definition for
this datasource but that entry is in the Jetty plugin section and I don't
think it is is getting sourced when exec'ing the *mvn test *target. I will
post to the Maven forum but before doing so was hoping someone here could
suggest how to have maven test corectly see the datasource in my
jetty-env.xml file while execing the *mvn test* target.

Thanks,

-Luther


Apache License in the Prototype

2009-12-03 Thread Luther Baker
Not a huge thing but would it make sense to remove the licenses ... entry
from the wicket prototype?

licenses
license
nameThe Apache Software License, Version 2.0/name
urlhttp://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt/url
distributionrepo/distribution
/license
/licenses

Luckily, I stumbled across this before committing but I was close to
publishing a new project to an GPL3 repository and this pom entry would have
been confusing.

Per the Maven pom guidelines http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Licenses:

*Note that a project should list only licenses that may apply directly to
this project, and not list licenses that apply to this project's
dependencies.*

Again, no biggie. Maybe it is no big deal.

Re: Absolute static file references

2009-10-25 Thread Luther Baker
Thanks Igor.

We're not having performance issues. I'm just mapping what we traditionally
do to Wicket. I did come across

CSSPackageResource.getHeaderContribution(style/default/main.css));

which seems to do exactly what I was looking for.

Back to your point, I guess I understood that Wicket 'could' manage
resources - I'm just not sure when it 'should' manage them. I generally
consider it a best practice to let the server handle static CSS and
potentially huge js and img files but it sounds like you're suggesting
start by managing the resources within Wicket and wait until performance
issues actually start popping up and then consider externalizing them.
What's nice to see is that Wicket appears to handle either approach pretty
well.

Also, ContextImage hit the nail on the head. Thanks for the suggestion

-Luther

 have you actually hit a scalability problem?

 if you are trying to optimize upfront you can use a less invasive
 technique. all resource urls in wicekt are served under the
 /resources/ virtual folder. you can enable the setting where wicket
 will append a last-modified date to the end of each resource url, and
 then have an apache-side cache to cache and serve everything under
 /resources/.

 alternatively see how ContextImage works if you want to serve your own
 stuff out of webapp folder.

Re: Ad Hoc URL Mapping

2009-10-12 Thread Luther Baker
Thank nino. Unfortunately, I think you may have misunderstood my question.

Indeed, I understand how to configure Wicket for RESTful URLs but my
question is different. What I'm asking has to do with the PLACEMENT of the
url parts. IE: I want the leftmost portion of the URL to be a parameter.
RosterListPage.java should receive requests from:

/cardinals/roster/list/14
/rams/roster/list/12
/falcons/roster/list/18

or think about it from a project tracking standpoint:

/jira/issues/list/29
/bambool/issues/list/32
/fisheye/issues/list/25

I want urls like:

http://code.google.com/guice/issues/list/45
http://code.google.com/wicket-guice/issues/list/32
http://code.google.com/jtrac/issues/list/21

Does that help clarify? Notice, the ROOT of the URL keeps changing. In my
case, I want to mount parts 2 and 3 of the browser's URL to an actual Wicket
page.

How do I 'mount' a URL when the root of the URL keeps changing - and is
itself, a parameter. Would I need to implement IRequestTargetUrlCodingStrategy
myself or is there an existing strategy that I can leverage a bit?

Hope that makes sense,

-Luther

Re: localizer and variables

2009-06-29 Thread Luther Baker
OjO,

Ideally, strings or text that users actually see and interact with are
candidates for i18n.

javascript, markup ids, onclick attributes and the like need not be i18n.
This kind of text can strictly be considered part of your codebase.

Remember, strings exist in the i18n properties files to isolate them - so
that their values can easily be *replaced *by other language specific text
values 

Before putting strings there - ask yourself if you really need language
specific versions of this 'string'.

From your second example, it looks like the *editLink* is a fine candidate
for an i18n string ... but using i18n string for the *markupid *and *onclick
*handlers is actually confusing. That'd be like putting your html markup
in an i18n properties file. It is code and has no international variant.
Feel comfortable keeping those strings *internal*. Don't *externalize* them.
Keep them collocated/embedded in the code - since they are themselves, code.

I hope I didn't misunderstand you. Hope that helps,

-Luther

dls, divs and ps and the ListView

2009-06-28 Thread Luther Baker
Wicket 1.4-rc2

Marking up a ListView with dls, divs or ps has different results.
Specifically, p doesn't wrap children correctly.

If the outer/parent tags of a ListView are dl, all is well. If they are
divs, all is well ... but with p --- the closing /p occurs right away -
before the rest of the list elements render.

I've include some example code.

Re: Feedback Messages Not Getting Displayed When Using AjaxSubmitLink

2009-06-19 Thread Luther Baker
I'm not at a computer to try this ... but I do this all the time so it
definitely works like you're hoping.

You've posted alot of code so its a bit difficult to trace what is commented
out and what is not ... but starting with your original post, uncomment the
following:

final FeedbackPanel feedback = new FeedbackPanel(feedback);
feedback.setOutputMarkupId(true);
add(feedback);

Now, be sure to add this (I think this is the part you're missing - or I
missed in reading your snippets):

feedback.setOutputMarkupPlaceholderTag(true);

And then make sure you add it to the target in the submit handler:

target.addComponent(feedback);

I think you're doing/done all of this at one time with varied components -
but my guess is that you've got to double check and make sure you're doing
all three things specifically for the feedback panel.

Hope this helps,

Re: [OFF TOPIC] Java desktop applications

I'd agree with Chris too. Swing apps can really attack a different a class
of problems ... a completely different solution space. And in that regard -
I think Swing (and/or strict desktop GUI development) would be a beneficial
understanding/perspective to have in your toolbelt.
I find this conversation enlightening ... one of Wicket's big selling points
is the similarities to Swing's programming model ;) Once you get started,
you will probably feel right at home working natively in Swing.

 Granted, HTML frameworks have come a long way in the past 15 years, but
 even with Wicket, building GUIs is still easier with a dedicated graphics
 toolkit.  Even SWT is better than HTML/CSS.  I worked a lot with AWT/Swing
 in the past and now SWT/JFace/Eclipse RCP.  For anything more than trivial
 GUIs, either one is easier than HTML.  No matter how good Wicket and AJAX
 get, you're still fighting the underlying design principal of HTML - it
 was designed for rendering documents, not building GUIs.

Re: refresh page

Flawless Victory!

Thanks everybody,

-Luther


Re: refresh page

2009-06-12 Thread Luther Baker
Ok, so that 'almost' wraps this up. HypbridUrlCodingStrategy works perfectly
for the Ajax-added data.

My last problem is related to the form fields. In
AjaxFallbackButton.onSubmit ... I clean out the input that holds the value
I've just added to the database and redisplayed in a list to the user. But,
on subsequent manual browser refresh, the INPUT that I wiped refreshes with
the user's LAST INPUT.

I don't mind this for the title, content or other input fields on the page -
but I don't want values showing up that I manually removed. I think this is
part of standard browser/form fields behavior.

I think Mike's approach would work here: ie: javascript that clears this
input out on load. I 'never' want any values in this input on load. I know
how to write an IHeaderContributor - is there something similar to add a
body=onload? If not, my specific page (Java/html) doesn't really create the
body tag ... what is the best way to grab it so that I can possibly add a
behavior that would create an onLoad handler.

Or, is there a better, wicket way to make sure this input is empty on
browser refresh?

Thanks,

-Luther


// add a category to the view
// and clean out input that supplied it
// dbase code intentionally left out

final AjaxFallbackButton addCategoryButton = new
AjaxFallbackButton(add-category, new ResourceModel(m-add-category),
this)
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Override
protected void onSubmit(final AjaxRequestTarget target,
final Form? form)
{
final IModelString model =
categoryCandidate.getModel();
final String text = model.getObject();

// make sure we should actually do something
if (text == null)
{
return;
}

// cleans out the form.INPUT
model.setObject(new String());

// add the new text to the categoriesModel (custom Set)
categoriesModel.add(text);

// redraw the form.INPUT
target.addComponent(categoryCandidate);

// redraw the li of categories
target.addComponent(categoriesParent);
}

};


To test the idea ... this works when placed in the markup after the input I
want to clean out:

script type=text/javascript
document.getElementById(category_candidate1e).value =
'';
/script

But I can't leave this embedded in the HTML ... and I guess the ID can
change per wicket's whim. I need to add this to an body.onload event as a
behavior --- how to do I get ahold of the body element from within my
Page.java?

Re: [OFF TOPIC] Java desktop applications

2009-06-12 Thread Luther Baker
As an aside, I think the art-form takes a great stride forward every time we
arrive at a framework that, by its very use, improves general design and
implementation.

For example, I think the concepts around Spring are a huge step forward.
Most young developers don't understand what *dependencies* are, don't
understand why flat inheritance hierarchies are better than taller ones,
don't understand how to write code you can test in 5 minutes, don't
understand what test *driven* actually means, don't understand why the web
Controller layer shouldn't include business logic ... but lock them in a
room with Spring and force them to use it, wave your hands and say
abracadabra ... and whalah, that singular exasperating experience will
actually do more for them in one month than months/years of long-drawn out
conversations about IoC, dependencies, injection and design by
contract/interface.

Likewise, give me a few newbies, JSPs, Spring Tags, JSTL, servlets and
actions and watch the nastiness that will follow. It is just wa-a-ay to open
ended. Anything goes - and anything does!

Now, ** drum roll please **, after a few years of this initial, required,
nonsense,  more drum rolling , someone dreams of a better way. A
framework, that, *by its very usage*, teaches/enforces/begats better coding
technique.

Wicket is not just front end ... it is perspective. It is self-regulating.
It is structure. It teaches. It limits. It liberates. In short, it is a huge
step forward.

 Wicket is the thing that actually made GUI programming fun for me.

No surprise to me!

Thank you Wicket for changing the way we _think_ about (GUI) development. :)

Sure. My comment was a joking plea to Johan to reconsider CSS :)

 css is really crap

And to your point, it isn't always the CSS, per se, that is the struggle -
but rather, varying browser implementations.

I think those csszengarden pages, browser hacks or not, do help a bit, to
illustrate what is possible with CSS. In general, the *hacks* on those pages
really simulate what CSS is designed to do - not compensate for it. I think
that is a subtle but important point.

  I still like the separation of markup for presentation and java for code

Amen. And I think Wicket really elucidates those lines.

@Johan
It's not much consoluation but HTML has a twisted history - and CSS was
really an afterthought. HTML wasn't necessarily designed for what it is
being used for today/tomorrow. CSS is really - quite an elegant solution
(conceptually at least) to the general problem we're stuck with.

refresh page

2009-06-11 Thread Luther Baker
If I add a few values to a page div ala an Ajax button - and the user hits
refresh on the page, the new values I've added go away.

The user is completing a form - but hasn't formally submitted the form yet -
so there is nothing stored in the database yet. The browser naturally
re-renders the textarea and input values to the screen - but wipes out
content to any divs I might have dynamically added data to.

What would be the wicket way to allow these dynamic divs to survive a page
refresh? Maybe on the a 'wicket-example'?

Thanks,

Re: refresh page

2009-06-11 Thread Luther Baker
I think you're right - I would need to use the Session or the Database on
each Ajax invocation to add these values.

But it also seems that if I store the new, dynamic, page specific values
into a TextField (as opposed to a div) - they survive a page refresh. I'm
not sure if that is robust or formally a standard across all browsers - so I
will do a bit more research but that seems to be the behavior I'm after.

 Hmm, is that possible ... you can't like store session-data in the browser,
 do you? You can only store session-details in the database on the fly with
 ajax while the user still fills out the form to allow the user to re-create
 the session on next login or something like this if he accidently hits
 reload (but even then I am not sure if that works ... maybe if you write the

Re: refresh page

2009-06-11 Thread Luther Baker
So it turns out I'm going to want to display these values as a list ul ...
li etc. My 'input' approach won't be adequate.

Back to the Session idea ... (smells already).

WIA has a security chapter that goes into storing a User in session - but
does anyone have a good resource that dives a bit deeper into best practices
with respect to Sessions? What about logical concepts/scopes like request,
flash, conversational, etc - and how wicket facilitates them?

Eg: I'd like to accumulate/remember page specific things while the user is
visits a particular url. Ideally, the transient info is dropped when the
user navigates away. I could create a POJO that represents the info and add
getters and setters to the wicket session object I extended from the WIA
security chapter ... but that smells bad. It seems heavy --- and I'm not
sure it makes sense to use that pattern everywhere I have Ajax buttons
putting rendering new values to the screen. Is there a more generalize
Wicket mechanism for this type of thing?

A localized, managed, short term, minimal, user specific, page specific type
of state management?

Or, given my issue, is there another way to think of this (out of box)?
Again, I am user's adding a few values (tags, categories) to the screen with
Ajax buttons and I need to make sure that information survives browser
behaviors like page refreshes.

http://faler.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/building-a-more-scalable-open-session-in-view/

Nice post. For some reason I thought Hibernate's Session could be configured
to do this sort of thing intrinsically (ie: starting and ending tx are
essentially noops unless something actually happened - part of the whole
dirty checking thing).

On another note, I know that Hibernate's Session.getCurrentSession() can be
configured to be thread specific (internally using ThreadLocal) ... I've
recently wondered if EntityManagerFactory.createEntityManager follows suite
?

This assumption is not true. It is perfectly fine to attach the

Ajax and LoadableDetachableModel

2009-06-09 Thread Luther Baker
Quick question regarding a blog engine I'm working on: my user is editing a
blog Post and gets to the Category section.

Category is implemented with a DropDownChoice and LoadableDetachableModel.
For convenience - I also have a simple TextField that, when filled out,
implicitly creates a new Category and attaches it to the current Post. For
now, I only allow 1 Category per Post. The Category TextField takes
precedence over the DropDown. IE: if the user types anything in the Category
TextField, that (String) will be looked up, inserted if missing and attached
to the Post as a Category.

Question: after submitting this entire form (ala AjaxFallbackButton) - I
intentionally stay on this page. The Category is added and the Post has been
saved ... but I need the Category DropDown to refresh. Since all of this
happens ala AjaxFallbackButtons - the process works except, the
LoadableDetachableModel attached to the DropDownChoice (obviously) doesn't
fire the load method when I add the DropDown to the target (in the submit
handler).

To clarify, in my submission, I just added a Category and saved the Post and
ostensibly, redrawn the DropDownChoice (ie: I've set the OutputMarkupID on
the DropDownChoice and attached it to the target in the ajax submit handler)
... but the underlying model isn't actually reloading. Is there something
like a 'refresh' method on the LoadableDetachableModel ... or, should I
attach it to the target as well?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Re: Ajax and LoadableDetachableModel

2009-06-09 Thread Luther Baker
To help others: while debugging ... I noticed that the model's 'load' method
is being called before the button's onSubmit handler is invoked. So, under
normal circumstances, when control reaches the submit handler and I save the
value from the Textfield to the database as a 'Category' and add the
DropDownChoice to the target ... it is to no avail, the model's load handler
is not invoked again.

But, per Linda's suggestion, explicitly detaching the 'categoriesModel' just
before adding it to the target causes the model's 'load' method to get
invoked before rending to the view:

protected void onSubmit(final AjaxRequestTarget target,
final Form? form)
{
Post updatedPost = (Post) form.getModelObject();

// new category? add to database and set in this post
updateCategoryInDatabase(updatedPost,
categoryCandidate.getModelObject());

// update author
final User user = ((UserSession)
Session.get()).getUser();
updatedPost.setAuthor(user);

// save post
final Post postWithId = postService.save(updatedPost);

// update the form's model (with the ID if it was saved
for the first time)
updatedPost = (Post) form.getModelObject();
updatedPost.setId(postWithId.getId());

// tell the world
final String msg = getTimestampString(m-saved);
info(msg);

*// redraw the categories
categoryModel.detach();
target.addComponent(categories);
*
// render the post's id (if not already rendered)
target.addComponent(postId);

// render the feedback message
target.addComponent(feedbackPanel);
}


I hope this is the generally accepted way to do this. Thanks,

 *work* ... and then when I'm finished, detaches again?

 New ground for me here ... should I explicitly invoke detach() at the
 beginning of the submit handler ... and then attach() at the end so that the
 render phase gets new data?

 Quick question regarding a blog engine I'm working on: my user is editing
 a
 blog Post and gets to the Category section.

 Category is implemented with a DropDownChoice and
 LoadableDetachableModel.
 For convenience - I also have a simple TextField that, when filled out,
 implicitly creates a new Category and attaches it to the current Post.
 For
 now, I only allow 1 Category per Post. The Category TextField takes
 precedence over the DropDown. IE: if the user types anything in the
 Category
 TextField, that (String) will be looked up, inserted if missing and
 attached
 to the Post as a Category.

 Question: after submitting this entire form (ala AjaxFallbackButton) - I
 intentionally stay on this page. The Category is added and the Post has
 been
 saved ... but I need the Category DropDown to refresh. Since all of this
 happens ala AjaxFallbackButtons - the process works except, the
 LoadableDetachableModel attached to the DropDownChoice (obviously)
 doesn't
 fire the load method when I add the DropDown to the target (in the submit
 handler).

 To clarify, in my submission, I just added a Category and saved the Post
 and
 ostensibly, redrawn the DropDownChoice (ie: I've set the OutputMarkupID
 on
 the DropDownChoice and attached it to the target in the ajax submit
 handler)
 ... but the underlying model isn't actually reloading. Is there something
 like a 'refresh' method on the LoadableDetachableModel ... or, should I
 attach it to the target as well?

 Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Ajax Buttons and Form?

2009-06-07 Thread Luther Baker
I'm saving a 'Post', like a blog post, and JPA's merge function doesn't
update the object in place but rather, returns an object reflecting the new
database fields (like id if it were set).

In my application, I'd like to manage insert / update by setting this new
'Post' as the model for my form. In this case, Updates have ids ... but the
following gives me grief since the Form? is not typed. I can't cast to
IModel? - so not sure of the right thing to do here. Thoughts?


Here is the form field:

final TextFieldString *postId* = new TextFieldString(id);
postId.setOutputMarkupId(true);
add(postId);


Here is my save handler:

@Override
protected void onSubmit(final AjaxRequestTarget target,
final Form? form)
{
...
// works fine
post = (Post) form.getModelObject();
final Post postWithId = postService.save(post);
// works fine
final IModelPost newModel = new
CompoundPropertyModelPost(postWithId);

*// 1. I want to use this new 'Post' object but neither of these compile*
form.setModel(newModel);
form.setModelObject(postWithId);

ERROR: The method setModelObject(capture#6-of ?) in the type
Formcapture#6-of ? is not applicable for the arguments (Post)



*2. This compiles fine but doesn't actually update the id field on screen:*

form.setDefaultModelObject(postWithId);
target.addComponent(*postId*);



*3. Or, instead resetting the model, I can manually set the id field on the
existing model - which is all I really want to accomplish in this case:
*
post = (Post) form.getModelObject();
final Post postWithId = postService.save(post);
post.setId(postWithId.getId());

feedbackPanel.add(new SimpleAttributeModifier(class,
info));
info(getString(m-successfully-saved));

target.addComponent(feedbackPanel);
target.addComponent(postId);

This seems to work, updates the id on screen and causes subsequent JPA
'merge' invocations to update instead of insert. As you can see, being an
AJAX button, I did have to explicitly render the new id field .

So, is there a well-defined approach for this sort of thing?

1 - is there a way I can actually reset the model?
2 - when I reset the DefaultModelObject - the the id isn't rendering to
screen - which implies I don't know what the DefaultModelObject actually is.
3 - Is it appropriate to use the Form fields to help discern between updates
and inserts - or is there a more appropriate way to manage this within
Wicket that I'm missing. My next step is to HIDE the id on the screen - but
wanted to make sure that it was indeed a well-received way to even manage
this type of update.

Thanks,

wicket:link - wicket:context

2009-06-06 Thread Luther Baker
I'd like to consider writing a component similar to wicket:link.

I don't think wicket:link actually does the dirty work. My cursory view at
the source suggests that wicket:link sets a flag and some other classes
update the actual path printed to the page. Is this an established or
documented pattern that I could follow for implementing something like
wicket:context? I have WIA but didn't recognize this type of component
discussed.

Igor mentioned:

 it may be helpful to create wicket:context analog of wicket:link, we
already have the framework for getting the path prefix to get to contextpath

Likely it is obvious - but would someone be able to briefly elaborate on the
'framework' Igor mentions here ... or anyone care to map out a high level
class or object blueprint of what I might look at or how to make this
happen?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Luther

Re: OT: ESB

2009-06-03 Thread Luther Baker
No experience with Camel but have a bit of Mule experience. It has a few
buggy spots but we've managed to work around them ... (ActiveMQ is not
without its share of bugs ...)

Mule requires you to sign up on their website for access to any significant
information ... after which, they will call you to see what they can 'do'
for you.

They publish a couple of ESB books - but if you go Mule, I'd highly
recommend Manning's latest book dedicated to Mule. The online edition is

Long content

2009-05-31 Thread Luther Baker
I'm working on an application something akin to blog posts. A 'Post' has a
title, date, tags, a category ... and *content*.

For most of the 'smaller' properties in a 'Post', I use a Label as the
component and that works just fine - but for much larger datasets, say,
content, I feel odd using something called 'Label'.

Is there a more precise Wicket Component for, what could amount to hundreds
of words or lines? (see below)

(By the way, kudos on the DateLabel and everything else in wicket-date
project - I just came across that ...)

Thanks,

Re: Long content

2009-05-31 Thread Luther Baker
Ah, thanks for the suggestion Vasu.

I looked at this component and don't think I'm looking to have '\n' replaced
or br/'s and p/'s automatically generated.

In my case, most cases, Post content might include some paragraphs,
blockquotes, pictures and a few more paragraphs. After a blog entry, there
might be a few comments - maybe someone will post some code examples ... so
Post.content and Post.comments[n] might just be somewhat long
strings/database fields.

For what it's worth, *Label* works just fine in my little mock up - but
again, Post.content doesn't really *feel* like a Label so it gave me room
for pause.

Thanks for the quick response Vasu.

Re: Wicket Quickstart vs WIA eclipse projects: why so different?

2009-05-30 Thread Luther Baker
For what its worth, I run a few Wicket 1.4x projects as within
Eclipse/m2plugin and pages, etc refresh just fine. I use the Run/Debug
Configurations and create a Maven application and then select the jetty
plugin, correct workspace and jetty:run command.

There are also Jetty options you can include directly in the POM file that
define how and when Jetty should regularly will scan the deployed files ...
restarting Jetty if changes detected.

What I've described is too different mechanisms for picking up changes ...
is that what you're asking for?

Re: Storing css and image files

2009-05-27 Thread Luther Baker
Admittedly, I think this is slightly out of context here ... but a few days
back, Martijn posted (no bashing intended - I try to adhere to this):


There is no sane reason why anyone would put the html, js, css and
properties resources in any place except *next* to the
corresponding.java file. Your .java file can not function without the
.html file. Your component will fail if the .properties file is not
available. When the js file can't be found your component is useless.

Wicket goes beyond the call of duty to provide developers with the
means to encapsulate your components, bringing Object Oriented design
and programming to the web tier. Moving the necessary resources
outside the package folder into a separate directory structure breaks
this encapsulation is definitely not the Wicket Way (tm).

Re: Storing css and image files

2009-05-27 Thread Luther Baker

 The clean way in my case is as Steve suggested , to use css to display the
 image for button.


Thanks for all the inputs. Sorry this has dragged out a bit.

In my case, I am not sharing static resources across apps. I'm just looking
at the best way for each page in my application to retrieve each of the
core, application-wide, application-specific, static resource files (js,
css, gif, jpg, etc). I might have common.css, header.css, footer.css. Maybe
that falls under keep it with the source -- which works just fine / albeit
somewhat limiting.

So maybe the point is moot and wicket:link/ is the solution for my case. I
think physically dropping files in webapp/**/*.css is just fine. I'm really
just suggesting the idea of making a robust, infallible way to refer to them
that can be written and included just once (in an abstract BaseLayoutPage)
and never talked about again :) ... and was entertaining the idea of using
the webapp/ directory for this.

The suggested IHeaderContributor solution has a few problems in my case. If
a developer adds a page 6 mos from now and mounts it to a new, arbitrary
URL, */products/cable/offer* - I'd like the css files to all show up -
automatically. Unfortunately, IHeaderContributor will not dynamically refer
to the original css/styles.css pages. The paths are just echo'd as entered
which means ... the single css isn't found.

My other made up example - if Wicket (for whatever reason) decides that 1.5
should default to RESTful URLs, would also break anywhere people were
hardcoding link href=css/styles.css ... since the new RESTful URLs
wouldn't look in the proper location.

On the other hand, wicket:link/ continues to work through all of these
changes - with no effort or manual management.

My initial posts/examples were around c:url value=/css/styles.css/ when
included on base base pages, always works no matter what page the user has
navigated to ... no matter how deep or shallow the url is. It creates an
ABSOLUTE path that simply prepends the context the app is deployed to
(which, is free to change or go to root).

For what its worth, I think that provides some amount of value to my app.

For my specific case, I think Igor's suggestion of a tag like
wicket:context/ hit the nail on the head. I can't tell if the other
suggestions here are just workarounds or really trying to address my
specific use case. IHeaderContribute (thanks for including) doesn't actually
do much more than hardcode a fixed path in the  markup.

Incidentally, I looked - and man, there are alot of pieces to wicket:link/
:-) Is there an online tutorial for, not just writing components, but
implementing a markup component like wicket:link/?

A ... thanks,

-Luther

Yep.


 The relative paths are just that: relative, and they always map to the
 absolute same resource URI.


I think I'm missing something here. If one uses the regular webapp location
to storee css, as I mentioned, http://localhost/a/b requesting
css/styles.css will request a different file than
http://localhost/a/NOTbrequesting the same css/styles.css.

Relative paths will NOT map to the same absolute resource URI. IN the first
example, the file webapps/a/b/css/styles.css is retrieved. In the second
example, webapp/a/NOTb/css/styles.css is retrieved. In both files, I've used
the link href=css/styles.css ...


 In fact, they are more stable than serving
 things from your classpath, as those resources are served from the
 path /context/resources/, and if we decide to call that path
 /context/foobar/ all your reasoning about stability goes out the
 window.


Ahh  I thought quite the opposite. If I have files

src/main/java/a/b/Page.java
src/main/resources/a/b/Page.html
src/main/resources/a/b/css/styles.css

and Page.html includes this:

wicket:link
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=css/standard/common.css /
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=css/standard/header.css /
/wicket:link

it turns into this:

link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=resources/org.effectiveprogramming.effprog.web.markup.layout.BasicLayout/css/standard/common.css/

which always works. In my eyes, I am giving Wicket just enought information
to find my css files. How Wicket decides to encode the wicket:link/ code
is none of my business. As long as the contract is adhered to. I give it a
very small relative link path in my resources hierarchy and Wicket encodes
that and will ALWAYS find it.

If Wicket decides to change how wicket:link/ encodes a resource (changes
/context/resources to /context/foobar/) that is fine with me - as long as
Wicket keeps reading in the resources correctly. You imply that, given my
aforemetioned files,

wicket:link
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=css/standard/common.css /
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=css/standard/header.css /
/wicket:link

would break if Wicket changed /context/resources to /context/foobar ... and
thats not what I expected.

I complete agree with the 'performance' point ... and maybe I just
misundertstand your perspective but directly using the

link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=css/standard/common.css /

and fetching pages from webapp/ seems much more volatile to me than using

wicket:link
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=css/standard/common.css /
 /wicket:link

which will be encoded however wicket pleases and always served up from a
path relative to the resource including it.

  So to your point Martijn, is using webapp/css and directly including

 in
  Wicket apps? Understandably maybe today, the default URL mapper in
 Wicket
  uses query strings and not deep or hierarchical urls - but the important
  term for me here is today.
 
  What if, in the future, wicket decides to change the default URL mapping
  scheme - maybe become more RESTful. The inertia built up around legacy
 apps
  using webapp/css may pose a problem. I don't think this is premature
  functionality ... I think links and urls are a here a now thing and that
  building and migrating apps to future versions of frameworks is hard and
  that a loose practice here may come back to bite a developer ... ?
 
  Also, I've not yet mounted urls but I assume if I were to mount URLs -
 I'd
  have to really manage this webapp/css approach - whereas, the resource
  approach with wicket:link/ would just keep humming along.
 
  Some may argue that it isn't really *better* to provide multiple ways to
 do
  the same thing ... take Tapestry for instance and the technical
 relevance as
  to where markup files can or cannot reside.
 
  This post is indeed a bit philosophical/theoretical - I've often thought
  about this topic and wanted to clarify in my mind that maybe, these are
  either moot points, ignored concerns, overthinking on my part ... or
 just
  not important somehow. As I mentioned, this little detail has always
 been a
  pain point in my previous work and I've just been happy as a lark to use
 the
  wicket:link/ which protects me from whatever the future provides. I'm
 just
  surprised it isn't the suggested best practice or that dropping files
 into
  webapp/* is *ill*-advised since it assumes something about how Wicket
 works.

@Vasu

Try overriding the *src* attribute with a SimpleAttributeModifier :-)
You'll need to manage your static paths in Java (Constants.IMG_PATH ... etc)
... but it works as expected:

final ImageButton submit = new ImageButton(i-thunder);
submit.add(new SimpleAttributeModifier(src,
img/thunder_medium.jpg));

*results in*

input type=image wicket:id=i-thunder
*src=**img/thunder_medium.jpg* name=i-thunder id=i_thunder2f/

*instead of*

input type=image wicket:id=i-thunder
src=resources/org.effectiveprogramming.effprog.web.markup.page.Contact/img/thunder_medium_en_US.jpg
name=i-thunder id=i_thunder31/

Great. I think it should work for you.



 On a side note, I thought that having the images/css/js etc served from
 webserver is pretty common and would be supported by wicket without having
 to add the names within java code.


If I had to guess ... it is probably just a matter of time. There are
probably a lot of design and Wicket Way considerations the team iterates
through and prioritizes. I think cases like yours bring some of these usage
points into clearer focus after-which, maybe they'll get some traction.

My guess is that these folks are pretty busy and that there are probably 10s
of 100s of similar requests in the queue - so just need some time ... or
bodies :)


 I understand the reasoning behind using new ResourceReference as it makes
 loading locale specific images very simple. But why should wicket prepend
 classpath etc. -- i'm not clear on that. Can't wicket simply ignore the
 src attribute if ResourceReference is not present and use whatever was
 already in the html template? That way I do not have to specify the image
 name within the java code and the separation between java and html is
 clean.


It sounds reasonable to me - but I'm not knee deep in the code either/yet.

Pages and Namespaces

2009-05-24 Thread Luther Baker
Assuming a parent page (Layout.html) that contains a link a href=
wicket:id=a-contact with corresponding code in Layout.java ...

Now, I'd like to extend that with a child page ... that happens to contain
text that also embeds a link to the same place. In my child page, I just so
happen to the use the same id ... and I find out, the ids conflict.

In this case it is easy enough for me to simply change one of the ids - but
that seems odd. What if I were using someone else's library of pages? I
would've thought there'd be some namespace style separation where id's in
subclasses can't conflict with id's in super classes.

Is that naive - or am I just missing a design point?

Label label = new Label(quote, model);
add(label);

IModelString? I think that is what the source has but typing my

Ajax appends to a Table

2009-05-21 Thread Luther Baker
Hi,

I have an 'Add Row' Ajax link and a Table. The table contains a list of
todos.

To 'add' a todo, I have created a single tr full of td's and input's
that, via Ajax, get shown when someone clicks on the aforementioned 'Add
Row' link.

Now, on submission of said row, I'd like to append it to the bottom of the
table such that, one might be able to add 'another' row.

Is there an easy way to do this or would I simply want to encapsulate the
entire table and refresh it via Ajax. I'm not sure that'd be as easy as I
hoped either since, I'd be creating the markup, etc in the Java class for
the extra row.

Also, to be true to form, is it normal to show that tr of inputs without
a formal encapsulating form tag or should I wrap the table in a big form
to be sure any inputs in the table are formally encapsulated by a form.

Just looking for some pointers in the right direction on basically, how to,
via Ajax, create blank rows, allow submissions and then append said rows to
a table without formally GET or POSTing the entire page. Many thanks.

Re: Putting HTML files in src/main/webapp

2009-05-05 Thread Luther Baker
 Separates the code from the templates so the designers don't have to
 checkout the whole project, also keeps all the content in one directory.
 Even though they are dynamic template files for wicket there is a
 certain amount of static stuff that would be nice to be in one place.


If you simply want to separate the file types, you can separate the *.html
files into the src/main/resources directory. That separates the Java code
from the HTML templates, it gives you a completely separate directory tree
for the *.html files and it keeps all the html content in one directory. In
addition, it is standard Maven practice to separate non-Java files into the
src/main/resources directory. All standard Maven builds should work just
fine.

Additionally, under Netbeans it seems to me to be rather daft that there
 is a folder is called Web Pages in the project view but all it
 contains is image/binary files and the WEB-INF directory.


Just a little background, by definition, Wicket defines a non-traditional
web application structure. It intentionally avoids the use of the web page
directory structure you are likely used to. It turns out that to do what you
are asking, you are actually fighting both Wicket and Maven. Traditional
HTML and JSP pages can be visited directly - but not so with Wicket html
files. They are read in from the classpath and much more tightly bound to an
actual Java class.

Trying to fit your Wicket app into a traditional structure can be done ...
but it is not standard Wicket practice and you're going to end up with
custom configuration that you'll have to manage.


 But the actual
 HTML files end up in the Source Packages or worse Other Sources
 folder. I understand the reasons for putting them in the source packages
 directories but it's not an ideal solution to my mind and my team.


That is fair. If you're simply after your aforementioned points, try
dropping the *.html files into src/main/resources.

serialVersionUID

2009-04-11 Thread Luther Baker
A quick question - is it generally acceptable to use

private static final long serialVersionUID = *1L*;

for most the anonymous inner class I create using Wicket? Specifically, I'm
asking about using the value (-1).

I've seen this idiom in the source but wasn't sure if there was some
rational or serialization concerns I needed to be aware of before generally
using (-1) everywhere.

Re: serialVersionUID

2009-04-11 Thread Luther Baker
Thanks John,

Let me take this one step farther, just to clarify.

I know that in a standard web application, the web container can Serialize
user HttpSessions such that one can shut an application down and upon
bringing it back up, HttpSession state is restored and, for instance, a user
might not have to log back in.

This functionality required us to implement Serializable for anything we
wanted to store in a user's HttpSession. From your response, is it safe to
say that Wicket doesn't use the HttpSession that way - or at least, doesn't
store all these pages and their contents out to Session such that there is
no requirement from Wicket to use a valid, unique serial id for all these
anonymous classes?

Including the PageStore or anything else native to Wicket internals?

Is there anything, whatsoever that Wicket or Java webapps would require
proper serial ids for?

-Luther


(I hope it's clear, I am intentionally being technical and trying to clarify
whether or not such unique serial ids are necessary or required for some
dark corner of Wicket functionality vs just not using them because they are
a pain or simply can safely be ignored or even left out.)

 An arbitrary constant (1 or -1) works just as well as any other value.

 Personally, I've disabled that warning in Eclipse and I don't add
 serialVersionUID to any of my Wicket components.

 You don't need a serialVersionUID for serialization to work (and
 certainly not a unique one, or your plan for using 1L wouldn't very
 well).


Thanks.

Re: serialVersionUID

2009-04-11 Thread Luther Baker
This has been a good thread.

I seem to remember the warning became much more over-stated when Ganymede
(Eclipse 3.4) was released. An avid of user of FindBugs, I like avoiding
squiggly yellow lines so I did the same here - and generating a unique id
sounds so much more llike the right thing to do so yes, I've been going
out of my way to put these things everywhere. It seems I was incorrectly
under the impression that the JVM required this serial id to serialize
correctly.  So at the very least, thanks @Jim for that article!

Well, at any rate, that was fine and ignorable when it was a few classes
here and there - specifically, anything I was persisting to the HttpSession.
It really wasn't until I started using Wicket with such a strong OO
sentiment that this issue has blossomed and really begun to annoy me. Those
stinking things are everywhere!

Touche! Unless I find good counterpoint, I'm going to turn off the warning
as well.

Thanks all,

-Luther

Re: serialVersionUID

2009-04-11 Thread Luther Baker
I don't know much about it ... but would something like Terracotta
use/require/leverage the serialVersionUID for something not so obvious in
normal, singly homed deployments?

I think I understand that it helps confirm or explicitly 'version'
components that might be working together or across, say, JVM boundaries -
but it seems like, if not explicitly provided, a default value is built
automatically and, unless I want an older version to work with a newer
version, I am fine just letting that happen.

In fact, unless I am really abiding by serialVersionUID rules (changing it
explicitly - every time I make a relevant, corresponding change to the
containing class) - I'm not really gaining any functionality that the
runtime can't already do. In fact, unless rigorously maintained, it seems I
could likely end up with two different compiled versions with identical,
explicit serialVersionUIDs - which surely seems worse then leaving it alone?

 However... even if it does matter, *in no way* should anyone depend on a
 serialized session to store data if your app can't recover from a clean

 Hum? What about stateful pages, which is the Wicket market?

 If you can control your serial IDs, you have the chance of write custom

I've included the Projects page which lists all the projects and the

Maybe I should explicitly create a new Projects page in the onSubmit handler

feedback panel

2009-04-04 Thread Luther Baker
I'd like to turn the background of a text input yellow - if it has errors.

Is there a standard way to do this? I have a feedback panel - and can write
some javascript. What about scanning the page for a feedback panel, and then
- reading an li attribute like id=form_name_ and corresponding that to
an field that needs to have a certain style .. ah - thats convoluted - but
can someone suggest a general way to add attributes to elements - I've seen
it but can't remember where?

Furthermore, is there a way to access the creation of the FeedbackPanel.LIs?

Cache oddity ... maybe

2009-04-04 Thread Luther Baker
I have a page that displays a list of Titles.

I have a few links off this page that take you to a second page where you
can either

a) create a new Title
b) edit an existing Title
c) delete an existing Title

The onClick handlers for b and c create the destination page with the
selected object where as option a simply prepares a blank form for the user
to type in. In this simplistic case, a Title is simply a bare-bones Entity
with just a Long id and a String name.

All is fine -- except on the very first action. The very first meaning,
right after I rebuild and restart the application. After ADDING a new Title
- the onSubmit handler of that page simply sets the response page which is a
POJO page that takes no arguments.

That original page comes up - but the listing of Titles is always missing
the very last one I entered. If I refresh the screen - all is well. If I add
25 more Titles, they always show up right away - ie: as soon as page 2
directs me back to page 1. But for some reason, the very first time - the
new entry doesn't show up upon returning the first listing page.

I am using some nominal Ajax on the 2nd page to go back and forth between
viewing and editing ... but the final submit is always a full refresh back
to the original page. I recently added b and c ... and oddly enough ... the
edits or deletes do not show up on the first page ... the first time after a
rebuild and restart ... but then work consistently everytime after that.

Thoughts? Any quick thoughts as to what migh be going on in my env? For what
its worth - I have an outer filter that is creating and commiting Hibernate
transactions and they are firing as expected ...

Thanks in advance,

Submitting an Ajax Modal

2009-04-03 Thread Luther Baker
I have a form with an AjaxFallbackButton that populates and displays a Modal
form.

It all works but when I SUBMIT the Modal form I am presented with a
Confirmation Dialog:

Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?
Reloading this page will cause the modal window to disappear.
Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.

Is my browser doing this? Is there a flag I can set to disable this? Is it

From Window to Modal Window Form Model

2009-04-03 Thread Luther Baker
Is there a preferred way to pass information from a Form's AjaxButton submit
handler to a Modal window's panel's form? I am currently manually updating
individual fields on the model instance object I am assigning to the Modal
Windows  Panel  Form  FormComponents.

Since the Modal window is created way before I ever invoke
modal.show(target), I assume the Model instance is already set (I assume the
ctor is called when the page is first instantiated) so instead of just
'reseting' the model object's instance ... I am really copying individual
fields - essentially updating the current model in place ... does that sound
right?

Is there another more elegant way to do this? The basics: a window has a
form with a drop down - I select an option and click the AjaxButton to
display a modal window allowing me to edit all the database fields of the
item in the drop down. I essentially need to pass the item from the initial
window to the Modal window's form's model.

Sorry for the length of this question.

Re: delete onSubmit

2009-04-02 Thread Luther Baker
The GenericJDBCException is correct and indeed, I shouldn't be able to
delete the object - it has references to children objects.

It is all of the successive attempts that make me think I can do something
to CLEAN it out of memory. Successive attempts (which should also fail) are
failing for a different exception ... NonUniqueNonUniqueObjectException.
That, is the exception I'm trying to counter.

That exception implies that the object I am trying to delete - is already
attached to my hibernate session. That confuses me since, the successive
delete requests are on subsequent posts which explicitly grab a new session.

If I shutdown or navigate away from that page - and then visit it again, the
first delete attempt results in GenericJDBCException ... which I expect. So,
naively, this implies to me that maybe my framework is saving or 'caching'
that object and reusing it on subsequent or immediate requests - whereas,
when I navigate away, it is clearing itself and re-retrieving the object.

This notion is somewhat reinforced as my drop down changes. The first
attempt always prompts me with the Choose One option as well as the thing
I'm trying to delete. Subsequent requests no longer include the Choose One
option. IE: Wicket knows about and is holding onto the literal object I
tried to delete (the model).

Maybe I can set it (the model) to null or something to explicitly make that
Change One appear again ...

Thanks for the suggestion - I will try to mimic this in a test - but again,
its not the DELETE I'm after, it is the odd exception that only shows up
after subsequent DELETE attempts that I'm trying to understand better.

-Luther

I'd like to see how the model implementation (Model, ProeprtyModel,
CompoundPropertyModel) I use affects the DropDownChoice.

I can see the model get SET in the Component when I initially create the
DropDownChoice. What I'd like to see is how, on a subsequent POST, the
parameters I in my form get pushed into that model. I am able to get one
form to work perfectly but another is not populating my model object. i.e.:
in onSubmit, the id is not being set for one of my cases --- there are
some subtle differencees in the parent Form model but in general, the
examples are very simple and almost dead copies of each other.

So - I wanted to watch the magic ... I am drilling down into

That is probably fine 90% of the time but I'd be careful if you're not
actually giving it a bit of thought.

It is actually quite difficult to correctly implement equals in a general,
universal way and since an IDE cannot infer semantics, there are times when
an otherwise standard implementation will need to be adjusted.

It isn't rocket science - but it can be tricky. If you're interested, see

DropDown Models

2009-04-01 Thread Luther Baker
This select impl works just fine ... creating a project that must include a
Category from a drop down:

public AddProjectForm(final String id)
{
super(id);

this.project = new Project();
*this.setModel(new CompoundPropertyModel(this.project));*

// category
*IModel categoryModel = new PropertyModel(this.project,
category);*
IModel detachableModel = new LoadableDetachableModel()
{
private static final long serialVersionUID =
-7673902927079196813L;

@Override
protected Object load()
{
ListCategory categories =
ServiceLocator.getPersistenceService().findAll(Category.class);
return categories;
}
};
ChoiceRenderer cr = new ChoiceRenderer(name, id);
DropDownChoice ddc = new DropDownChoice(category, *
categoryModel*, detachableModel, cr);
ddc.setRequired(true);
this.add(ddc);


I see that I set a model for the form -- and then I set another model
(albeit the same one) for the Drop Down.

In another case, I have a simple page that tries to DELETE a CATEGORY.

private static class DelCategoryForm extends Form
{
private Category category;

public DelCategoryForm(final String id)
{
super(id);

this.category = new Category();
*this.setModel(new Model(this.category));*

// category
*IModel categoryModel = new Model(this.category);*
IModel detachableModel = new LoadableDetachableModel()
{
private static final long serialVersionUID =
-6814520399090264461L;

@Override
protected Object load()
{
ListCategory categories =
ServiceLocator.getPersistenceService().findAll(Category.class);
return categories;
}
};
ChoiceRenderer cr = new ChoiceRenderer(name, id);
DropDownChoice ddc = new DropDownChoice(categories, *
categoryModel*, detachableModel, cr);
ddc.setRequired(true);
this.add(ddc);

In this case, I don't think I need the CompoundPropertyModel or
PropertyModel since, the contents of the DROP DOWN indeed are everything I
need. So I changed the both to simply Model.

Unfortunately, values are always 'null' in the onSubmit handler of the
delete implementation. Any quick thoughts on what I'm doing incorrectly
here? Basically, I'm trying to populate the Category object with the select.
It works for the 1st example - but not in the second. In the first, it is a
property of a containing object - in the 2nd, it is the loan object.

Re: How To Download Excel File?

2009-03-31 Thread Luther Baker
These responses were great! I learned something from almost each variant of
the answer.

For what its worth, depending on how the app will be used - one might need
to be careful about writing files to the filesystem ... but again, thanks
for all the great examples listed here.

 hola wadi

 to generate the excel file, have a look at the poi apache project:
 http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/index.html

 then you will need to create a resource for that file / byte array.
 you might find some inspiration from this pastie:
 http://paste.pocoo.org/show/110449/

 finally, use

 new ResourceLinkVoid(downloadAsExcel, new PdfResource() {

  (...)

 }

 declare the link on your html and you're done!

nested loop view

2009-03-26 Thread Luther Baker
I'm trying to create a page - similar to Jira's BROWSE PROJECTS.

My initial take amounts to a loop in a loop.

The outer loop is CATEGORIES and the inner loop is PROJECTS in said
category.

| CATEGORY 1
| p1
| p2
| p3

| CATEGORY 2
| p4
| p5
| p6

...

I've attached code below but if I removed the nested loop, I can easily loop
over just CATEGORIES but as soon as I add the nested loop, it fails with the
following

WicketMessage: Error attaching this container for rendering: [Page class =
com.fuzzybearings.milestones.web.page.user.ProjectsPage, id = 3, version =
0]

Root cause:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A child with id 'projects' already
exists:
[MarkupContainer [Component id = categories]]


My intuition tells me that 'wicket:id=projects' is repeating since it is
contained in an outer loop ... but I'm not sure how else to identify this
type of structure in a general way. Is there a loop container more suited to
this ... open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

-Luther

Re: nested loop view

Ahh ... but of course!

Thanks both of you. The nested structure did indeed obscure the problem.

Fixed and refactored a bit - and now working as expected.

Thanks for your time!

  your structure is a little dangerous here because you have one ListItem

  I'm not sure if most actually *deploy* their production servers on
  Jetty (there's nothing holding anyone back), but I think that Tomcat,
  Glassfish and JBoss are also very popular.
 
  Jetty is most commonly used during development because it is so easy to
  embed.
 
  AFAIK no books have been written for Jetty.

maven, eclipse and wicket

2009-03-23 Thread Luther Baker
I am having a slight bit of trouble getting Eclipse to step into the Wicket
source code while using the m2eclipse plugin.

The m2eclpse has successfully downloaded the Wicket 1.3.5 distribution. My
application fires up and works just fine in Eclipse. I have also enabled the
m2eclipse plugin to download sources - I can see the source jars in the m2
repository now as well.

I am trying to implement a security/authentiation/authorization scheme and
while debugging, anytime I step out of my workspace source code, I get a
window in Eclipse that says Source not found and a button that says Edit
Source Lookup Path...

If I click that button, I can choose to explicitly add:

*Archive*: a jar or zip in the workspace containing source files
*External Archive*: a jar or zip in the local file system containing source
files
*File System Directory*: a directory in the local file system
*Java Classpath Variable*: workspace folder, local directory, or archive
referenced by a variable path
*Java Library*: a collection of binary archives with attached source
*Java Project*: source folders in a Java project
*Project*: a project in the workspace
*Working Set*:
*Workspace*: all projects in the workspace
*Workspace Folder*: a folder in the workspace

And I can click External Archive and explicitly add every single source jar
file --- but I was wondering - shouldn't this automatically happen?

Does anyone have a suggestion? or confirmation that these source jars must
be manually added to step into Wicket code while using the m2eclipse plugin
in Eclipse? I think this is probably an m2eclipse question ... but hoping
someone here has dealt with this already.

Thanks much,

-Luther


Re: maven, eclipse and wicket

2009-03-23 Thread Luther Baker
Yep - the sources came down.

The problem is in automatically attaching them to the debugger.

I have an Eclipse DEBUG configuration invoking mvn jetty:run and it breaks
just fine into my own source code - but when I go to step into the Wicket
source, it can't find it the source code.

The sources are downloaded and located in the same directories as the jars
in my maven repository. I can explicitly attach them via the screen I
mentioned in the first post by adding them individually as External Archives
... but sounds like I'm missing something. I was thinking that the
maven/jetty/m2eclipse combo would know where to look. Explicitly adding
every source jar to my project is a bit painful ... and so it sounds like
I'm doing something incorrectly.

Is this just supposed to 'work'.
