Re: Javascript templating? Removing java code mixed with js
Did you look at the JavaScriptTemplate class?

Javascript templating? Removing java code mixed with js
I recently developed a component that can be added to any form to put a character countdown div next to any textarea. Just for some background, the component constructor is: CharacterCountdownPanel(String id, TextArea textArea, int charLimit). The textarea is necessary because the countdown panel needs to know the id of the generated markup (Although while typing this, I realize it might be useful for textfields as well, so that may change). But one issue I often encounter with components like these is the need to generate highly dynamic javascript, and I really dislike mixing up java string concatenation with multiline js functions. Does anyone do anything to reduce this language mismatch? One idea I had was to pull the entire javascript function into its own file, and use something similar to Wicket's property file handling, and have a model pull all the dynamic values into the script. I could use a regular property file, but I don't know if it makes sense to put the entire js function as a single property in one giant line.
