Hi, Mike - thank you very much for your reply. I am following the examples
on wicket-stuff and jweekend to write my own js tree-selector component. If
I shall finish it, I will post my code to this forum to thank all the help I
got.

Hi Paul,
What I would do would be to find a javascript implementation that does
what you want and then have the selection events fill in a hidden field
which will then be available on the server side when the form is
posted. This would be similar to how the Palette works in
wicket-extensions
You then define a custom IConverter to convert the string input from the
hidden field into the IModel> or IModel> or what
ever makes sense for your model..
There is probably something in wicket-stuff already but here is a link
to a jquery plugin for a tree table:

Thanks Mike... Is there any document on how to write such a component like
Palette that communicates with javascript? I just skipped through the
Palette java an js source code and found they are kind of hard to
understand. "Wicket in Action" does not seem to cover this topic either.
Hi Paul,
Most of the wicket + javascript integrations in wicket-stuff
(http://wicketstuff.org/confluence/display/STUFFWIKI/Wiki) will show how
communication between wicket and javascript can work. They can get a
little messy but once implemented are nice/simple to deal with since
they are self contained.
When the page is rendered custom javascript is also rendered that
connects the component javascript (in your case the stock tree table)
with the wicket components (in your case the hiddenField.getMarkupID()
that will be used to fill in the selection details).
This can be done by rendering out the wicket markup id details into a
global variable in the DOM or as a property in a custom object in the DOM.
In the case of Palette it uses its own DOM object called Wicket.Palette
(see palette.js which is adjacent to Palette.java) This is where the
work is done to move values between the choicesComponent and
selectionComponent. The recorderComponent is a customized HiddenField
that stores the list of values that are shown in the
selectionComponent. The buttons are configured with onclick actions
which are connected to the contextualized Wicket.Palette.action functions.
Each of the Wicket.Palette.action functions expect three arguments:
1. the markup id of the choices component
2. the markup id of the selection component
3. the markup id of the recorder component.
Which are filled in automatically for the palette being rendered.
For your example you could create a custom hidden field like this and
define the converter so that it will have a comma seperated string
content but resolve into a list of Elements:
new HiddenField>(id) {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see
org.apache.wicket.Component#getConverter(java.lang.Class)
*/
@Override
public IConverter getConverter(Class type) {
return new IConverter() {
@Override
public String convertToString(List
valueList, Locale locale) {
// convert value list into a comma seperated
string like A,B,C...
return string;
}
@Override
public Object convertToObject(String value, Locale
locale) {
// convert a comma seperated string A,B,C... back
into the list of elements
String[] elements = value.split(",");
List elementList = new
LinkedList();
for (String e : elements) {
// convert
}
return elementList;
}
};
}};
Then your javascript hooks for the on selection will append the id value
of the selected element into the hidden field.
When the form posts the formsubmittingComponent.onSubmit() action can
just call hiddenField.getModelObject() to get the list of selected
elements to process.
Hope this helps you get started,
Mike

Re: Client-side treeView
Paul, Take a look at Alastair's presenttaion called something like "A Drag And Drop List Editor" [1] and the accompanying source code. I don't think we have a tree publicly available yet in WiQuery [2] but for sure you should get some good ideas there even if you don't want to use it.
