RE: Wicket plugin architecture
Thank you all for suggestions. Finally I have used Wicket's org.apache.wicket.IInitializer (as pointed Martin) together with org.apache.wicket.Application.setMetaData(MetaDataKeyT key, Object object) for configuration. Implementing more complex solution is not necessary unless you need advanced runtime plugin mechanism. For custom plugin CSS/JS I use metadata and render all extra resource references on pages. Images are mounted as shared resources. It works, but for large amount of images it will not be efficient. Question: do you know a better Wicket-way to handle custom images?

RE: Wicket plugin architecture
In Initializer implementation I do something like: PackageResourceReference logoReference = new PackageResourceReference( MyInitializer.class, img/custom_header_logo.png ); WebApplication.get().getSharedResources().add( img/custom_header_logo.png, logoReference.getResource() ); WebApplication.get().mountResource( img/custom_header_logo.png, logoReference ); It makes for every mounted image new request mapper. Won't it be a problem for a lot of custom images?

Re: Wicket plugin architecture
Michal, I wrote a mapper which mounts all resources in a package at a fixed url. This eliminates the need for a mapper per resource.

RE: Wicket plugin architecture
Hi Michal I will commit the initial version of my wicket-plugin https://github.com/decebals/wicket-plugin project in a few days (now i'm a little busy). This project is based on another project developed by me PF4J https://github.com/decebals/pf4j and is intended to add a little improvement over the solution chosen by you. A demo will be also available. I will come with more information in the next post. Any suggestion or idea is welcome.

Wicket plugin architecture
Dear developers, I need to prepare plugin architecture for a Wicket based project. I've found that open source Hippo CMS ( http://svn.onehippo.org/repos/hippo/ ) does it, but I am curious if there are any other projects that do such a thing? Do you maybe know this kind of projects or frameworks? Are there any important in-depth aspects of Wicket of which should I be aware of for creating plugin architecture? Best regards, Michal Wegrzyn

Re: Wicket plugin architecture
Good question and good answers :) I am searching for an answer too. In our product (NextReports server) we use spring framework for this purpose. You can add contributors as section, menu action, popup action, ... and at runtime a component (for example a menu panel) takes all contributors and generate the markup. It's ok but this approach requires extra library (spring) and it's not a true plugin system (no class loaders management). Personal, I like the plugin system for Jenkins/Hudson. This system uses a specific class loader for each plugin. For more information see https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+Structure. You can define extension points and you can write extension for an extension points (similar to brixcms). I suppose that the key is how to define an extension point. In jenkins an extension point implements ExtensionPoint and an extension has an @Extension annotation. At runtime, jenkins search all @Extension annotations (It seems to me a time consuming operation). As plugin framework you can use something like http://jpf.sourceforge.net/ Best regards, Decebal -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Wicket-plugin-architecture-tp4652305p4652321.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
Re: Wicket plugin architecture
Hi Jenkins/Hudson has this ability (do it with class loaders management). See more at http://kohsuke.org/2011/12/06/installing-plugins-to-jenkins-without-restart/. Jenkins is so popular because it uses a relative simple (vs osgi) with a good versatility plugin system. Probably it's possible to adapt jenkins plugin system to wicket but I don't know how big is this task. It's anybody here that can explains us how the plugin system is implemented in brixcms?
