Re: Wicket and Ext JS integration
The licensing is a pain. We started using ExtJS when it was LGPL, then they switched to GPL. By then we were already invested, so we bought a commercial license -- kind of feel like we got suckered into that one. If I had a chance to do it again I would just use YUI. We use ExtJS on top of YUI. However, ExtJS is a good product, even though they made a poor licensing decision. The licensing problem is just a fact that we have to deal with now, so I'm trying to find out what the easiest path is for integrating ExtJS 2.2 with Wicket. If someone else has already done the effort or started the effort, then that would help. The amount of work involved in integrating ExtJS 2.2 with Wicket is part of our new web framework evaluation criteria.

Re: Wicket and Ext JS integration
I could be interested to share experience about that, but now I'm really in early stage so I think it would be too early to share the code. Anyway the main idea is to use the Wicket behaviour feature to attach an Ext component to the associated Wicket component. This is the easiest part. More complex integration like Data Store could be always done using a Wicket ajax behavior. But I' haven't yet tryed to integrate more complex stuff like editable grids, groups and so on . .

Re: Wicket and Ext JS integration
Paolo, Is this an open source effort? What version of ExtJS are you using? If we were to choose to go with Wicket, we would be willing to contribute.

Re: Wicket and Ext JS integration
Yes, I'm working for a no-profit organization and it could be an interesting option to release it as an OSS. Do you have any suggestion where the project could be hosted? Google code? and any idea about the licence? Thank you, Paolo On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 2:19 PM, Richard Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Paolo, Is this an open source effort?

Re: Wicket and Ext JS integration
Paolo, I think wicket-stuff ( http://wicketstuff.org/confluence/display/STUFFWIKI/Wiki) would be the place to put the code. I would recommend the license be the Apache License, version 2.0. As I understand, that is OK with GPL, version 3 ( http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLModuleLicense), which is the license used by ExtJS version 2.1 and up. -Richard On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 9:29 AM, Paolo Di Tommaso [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, I'm working for a no-profit organization and it could be an interesting option to release it as an OSS.
