Re: Wicket Application Design Question
Hi, I also recommend to use separate .js files for the different components. I'd also prefer a Behavior to contribute some common JS logic like validation. If a component needs validation then add this behavior to it. Since 6.0 Wicket supports resource bundling, i.e. combine several .js or .css files in one bundle. Take a look at http://wicketinaction.com/2012/07/wicket-6-resource-management/ and the linked demo application. JS world is also going in this direction. Dojo as component based framework does this since its early versions. AMD frameworks do the same. And they also provide bundling. JQuery developers also realized this and now the split the bigger .js into several smaller ones On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 12:33 AM, Sven Meier s...@meiers.net wrote: Wicket Application Design Point your colleagues to the components in wicket-core and wicket-extensions: Is there a global .js file or many component specific ones? *After* you've experienced performance problems, you should look into ResourceBundles.

Any opinions are appreciated. TL;DR: Should javascript code that is only used on one component/panel be placed on a js file that is loaded only when component/panel is used or on a global js file that in loaded on every page. -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.** n4.nabble.com/Wicket-**Application-Design-Question-**tp4657388.htmlhttp://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Wicket-Application-Design-Question-tp4657388.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --**--**- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@wicket.**apache.orgusers-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org --**--**- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@wicket.**apache.orgusers-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org -- Martin Grigorov jWeekend Training, Consulting, Development http://jWeekend.com http://jweekend.com/
Re: Wicket Application Design Question
Thanks for your answers .At this point we are using wicket 1.5.9 but plan a switch to wicket 6.Maybe we well use resource bundling to improve performace.

Re: Wicket Application Design Question
From my experience use small component based .js and css files. But just be careful and read the docs and references three times of how wicket renders them to head !!! One tiny little advice about wicket:head tag .. just dost use it .. put everything to renderHead() method in component class ;) Regards Armando -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Wicket-Application-Design-Question-tp4657388p4657399.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
