Wicket 6.0 and Javascript Event Registration question
Just a thought about the upcoming changes to Wicket's Javascript event registration mechanism in Wicket 6.0 (instead of inline JS events): we have several Behaviors that provide Javascript in which we register to JS events, e.g. 'onblur'. Now I have a Component that additionally has an AjaxEventBehavior(onblur). Currently, the Behaviors that registered to 'onblur' are guaranteed to execute before the inline 'onblur' event (provided by the AjaxEventBehavior). Could this be a problem with Wicket 6.0? Meaning: will it still be possible to provide additional Behaviors that register JS events that execute *before* any event behavior already registered to some Component? Or how will Wicket's JS event mechanism figure out the order of Behaviors? Cheers, -Tom
Re: Wicket 6.0 and Javascript Event Registration question
Hi, The new code registers listeners with jQuery's on() method which uses internally addEventListener() (IE9 and others) and attachEvent() (IE8 and less). So you need to execute your JS code after Wicket's. Wicket executes its bindings when the DOM is ready, so you must be careful that your Mootools code is run after Wicket's. Better try with a simple app and see how it behaves.

Re: Wicket 6.0 and Javascript Event Registration question
This will cause quite some trouble for the application I'm currently developing. Example: we have a Behavior that puts input hints on several textfields (e.g. dd/mm/ for day input fields). The Behavior provides a JS file in which we register for the submit event of the containing form and thus assure that input hints are removed on form submit. For this implementation it's crucial that the JS is executed before any 'onsubmit' handler provided by Wicket. Also, we remove/restore input hints 'onblur' of the textfield, which also has an AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior(onblur). Here it's also crucial that our code is executed before Wicket's (which will ajax post the values). Just an example in our applications, but maybe worth considering as others might have similar implementations for other usecases. Sure, many things can be handled by AjaxCallDecorator, but not all ;-) Cheers, -Tom Martin Grigorov wrote: Hi, The new code registers listeners with jQuery's on() method which uses internally addEventListener() (IE9 and others) and attachEvent() (IE8 and less).

Sure, many things can be handled by AjaxCallDecorator, but not all ;-) AjaxCallDecorator is removed because there is no script to decorate anymore. There is AjaxCallListener which is called at the main lifecycle points of the ajax call - before, after, onsuccess, onfailure and oncomplete. For more information read https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WICKET/Wicket+Ajax#WicketAjax-o.a.w.ajax.IAjaxCallDecoratorisreplacedwitho.a.w.ajax.attributes.IAjaxCallListener. In our Jira we accept tickets for Wicket 6.0 so don't hesitate to create a quickstart that shows a real problem that cannot be implemented with the new Wicket Ajax impl and we will try to improve it before 6.0-final.
