Re: Should I use a (stateless) WebPage or a Resource to return a json response for an autocomplete component?
Thanks Martin for your answer. Is storing the resource reference in the application metadata once it's created and retrieving it from the metadata on subsequent uses a safe way to create it only once?

With proper synchronization - yes. But I think you won't need to retrieve it later at all.

Re: Should I use a (stateless) WebPage or a Resource to return a json response for an autocomplete component?
Hmm now I'm a bit confused. I have a TextTemplate that generates the JQuery autocomplete javascript. I need to pass it the url to retrieve the search results from. So I do: HashMapString, CharSequence vars = new HashMap(); CharSequence url = RequestCycle.get().urlFor(getSearchResultsResourcReference(), null); vars.put(sourceUrl, url); response.render(JavaScriptHeaderItem.forScript(template.asString(vars), jsId); where getSearchResultsResourcReference() creates (and saves in the app metadata) or retrieves the resource reference for searching. So I need a reference to the resource reference every time I use an autocomplete component. Am I missing something? Were you simply suggesting that instead of the resource I store the url in the app metadata? Does it make any difference?

Re: Should I use a (stateless) WebPage or a Resource to return a json response for an autocomplete component?
1. Since you use the same ResRef for all autocompleters then you can just mount it at start time within MyApp#init(). 2. Wicket uses ResourceReference#equals() to find the mounted ResRef so you can do: - mountResource(/some/path/, new MyResRef()) - CharSequence url = RequestCycle.get().urlFor(new MyResRef(), null); i.e. two different instances! They are matched by #equals(), not by identity Martin Grigorov Wicket Training and Consulting https://twitter.com/mtgrigorov On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 10:46 PM, mscoon msc...@gmail.com wrote: Hmm now I'm a bit confused.

I am not using the same ResourceReference. getSearchResultsResourcReference() is overridden in subclasses to return a different resource reference as needed. Anyway I think now I understand how to mount the resource from within the component. Thanks! On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 10:57 PM, Martin Grigorov mgrigo...@apache.org wrote: 1.

Wicketstuff has a module with special Wicket resources to implement REST api: https://github.com/wicketstuff/core/tree/master/ jdk-1.7-parent/wicketstuff-restannotations-parent. Here you can find resources that already produce JSON in output. To configure them you might use a Wicket initializer: http://wicket.apache.org/guide/guide/single.html#advanced_3 Hi all, I am making an autocomplete component based on jquery-autocomplete. I have currently implemented the data source using a stateless web page which writes the json response. What I don't like about this is that it is a separate file/class from my autocomplete component. But I like that it's stateless. Could I achieve the same effect (statelessness) using a dynamic resource registered/created from within the autocomplete component? In other words I want the autocomplete component, upon creation, to register a resource that can be used to serve the autocomplete options. But I want the resource to be stateless and lightweight and the requests to return the autocomplete options should not have to go through the page that contains the autocomplete component. Furthermore, if I have the same autocomplete component twice in a page, the resource should be registered only once and server requests for both components. Is this possible? Can you provide some guidelines? Thanks Marios - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
