Hello all, I am a newbie trying to develop some app using Tapestry. I currently am having some trouble using the ajax functionality.
The thing is, I am trying to use some 3rd party flash charting component (Fusion charts v2) which I would like to update when data changes. The data is also changed by the application which contains the charts. 1- I have to make some javascript function calls to update the chart 2- the chart should be updated after new data is sent to the server and processed I am using Directlink and update components to process the changed data on the server, which works smoothly. The trouble is, I need to find some way to trigger the function to update the charts after the directlink listener does its job. - thought of implementing a servlet for using ajax calls within tapestry, but as the objects tend to change, it costs a lot to overcome the synchronization issue with tapestry & the servlet - I have tried updateing components for the part that runs the javascript, receiving the javascript function call as new content with ajax, which resulted in nonworking code in IE. - tried using contrib Xtile component, noticing that I have to be calling the listener with this component also and handle all the ajax related stuff which current direct link is doing - tried using event handler annotations, which did not work as the javascript method that starts the process on eventhandler has no relations to the directlink listener. - tried getting the responsebuilder and outputting the script as an initialization script, using write..script, during which I tried to obtain some reference to the MarkupWriter hopelessly, then tried addinitializationscript and got a nullpointer exception that I could not figure out, though I could get the component and stuff on debugger. Thank you in advance, Alp
